Terraform
VMware vSphere
This page explains the rules of associating VMware vSphere resources, created via Terraform, with the classes in the ServiceNow CMDB.
Mapping of Terraform resources to CMDB CI Classes

|---|---|---|---|
| vCenter server | N/A | cmdb_ci_cloud_service_account | Cloud Service Account |
| vSphere Datacenter | vsphere_datacenter | cmdb_ci_vcenter_datacenter | VMware vCenter Datacenter |
| vSphere Virtual Machine | vsphere_virtual_machine | cmdb_ci_vmware_instance | VMware Virtual Machine Instance |
| vSphere Datastore Cluster | vsphere_datastore_cluster | cmdb_ci_vcenter_datastore | VMware vCenter Datastore |
| vSphere Network | vsphere_network | cmdb_ci_vcenter_network | VMware vCenter Network |
| Tags | N/A | cmdb_key_value | Key Value |
