Resource Blocks #

Resource blocks have the following format. The resource_name is often used to identify the resource. If it is overridden using the name attribute, it will be used for error messages.

resource "resource_type" "resource_name" {
    ensure = "present"
    ... other key value entries ...
}

This is an example Resource Block that creates a SQL Server agent operator:

resource "agent_operator" "june" {
    ensure = "present"
    name = "june"
    email_address = "june@test.com"
}

A fake sample showing all the data types:

resource "fake_resource" "fake" {
    ensure = "present"
    string_val = "value"
    int_val = 37
    bool_val = true
}
