Extensible attributes (EA)

Extensible attributes (EA) are identifiers applied to objects in the NIOS Grid, similar to tags used in Azure or AWS, that allow you to further define and track objects. The optional ext_attrs argument for all resources in the Infoblox provider allows you to add extensible attributes to the objects being created. You can add any extensible attribute to your resource that is defined in the Grid and allowed for that object type. The ext_attr argument contains a JSON encoded block of key/pair values. This example shows a Network resource with ext_attrs to add values for Location and Site EAs:

resource "infoblox_ipv4_network" "new_network" {
    cidr = "10.101.0.0/24" 
     ext_attrs = jsonencode({
          "Location" = "California" 
           "Site" = "HQ" 
           }) 
}

For additional information on managing extensible attributes, refer to NIOS documentation, NIOS Documentation.
