Applying Instance

In this step, you will use basic Terraform CLI commands to apply the configuration file and create a new network container, network(s), and host(s) in the Infoblox Grid.

1. [Ubuntu] Open a Terminal  window.

2. [Ubuntu] Use the command cd  <file_location> to navigate to the correct directory.

3. [Ubuntu] Run the terraform init command to initialize Terraform in this directory and install the Infoblox provider.

4. [Ubuntu] Run the command terraform plan -out=plan1 to validate the configuration file and plan resource actions. Note: Running terraform plan prior to applying the configuration is optional but considered a best practice.

5. [Ubuntu] Run the terraform apply plan1 command to start the deployment. Note: If you did not create a plan prior to running this command, omit the plan1 argument. You may also add -auto-approve to avoid a confirmation prompt.
