Populate the datacenter in Terraform-based catalog items

In any request for a catalog item using Terraform templates, the required Location value specifies the datacenter or region where to provision the configuration items and stacks. You can use a variable named region in the Terraform template to map to the Location field on the request form.

Procedure

1. In the template file that is the basis for the catalog item, define a variable named region.

   variable "region" {
                    type="string"
                  }
   

   • The field defined for the region variable does not appear on the Provision section of the request form for the catalog item (the Location field serves that purpose).
   • The value that the user specifies for the Location field on the request form configures the datacenter or region for the resource.
