STEP 2 on your scaleway account Create API credential on scaleway admin interface

STEP 3 create a project folder then create a terraform declarative configuration file
vi scaleway.tf

Add the following content to it to deploy a General Purpose C1 instance running the Ubuntu Bionic base image in the fr-par-1 zone:

terraform {
required_providers {
scaleway = {
source = "scaleway/scaleway"
}
}
required_version = ">= 0.13"
}

provider "scaleway" {
access_key = "YOUR ACCESS KEY"
secret_key = "YOUR SECRET KEY"
organization_id = "YOUR ORGANIZATION ID"
zone = "fr-par-1"
region = "fr-par"
}

resource "scaleway_instance_ip" "public_ip" {}

resource "scaleway_instance_volume" "data" {
size_in_gb = 50
type = "l_ssd"
}

resource "scaleway_instance_server" "my-ubuntu-instance" {
type = "C1"
image = "ubuntu_bionic"

tags = [ "devops_terraformC1", "MyUbuntuInstance" ]

ip_id = scaleway_instance_ip.public_ip.id

additional_volume_ids = [ scaleway_instance_volume.data.id ]

}

STEP 4 Run terraform init to load the newly created configuration file into Terraform

STEP 5 Plan the execution of the tasks to be done by terraform using the command terraform plan
