title: Terraform Components
---
To enable end users to [provision and consume cloud resources](../../end-user/components/cloud-services/provider-and-consume-cloud-services),
platform engineers need to prepare ComponentDefinitions for cloud resources if end users' requirements are beyond the
[built-in capabilities](../../end-user/components/cloud-services/provider-and-consume-cloud-services#supported-cloud-resource-list).
## Develop a ComponentDefinition for a cloud resource
### Alibaba Cloud
Take [Elastic IP](https://www.alibabacloud.com/help/doc-detail/36016.htm) as an example.
#### Develop a Terraform resource or module for the cloud resource
We recommend you to search the required cloud resource module in [Terraform official module registry](https://registry.terraform.io/browse/modules).
If no luck, you can create a Terraform resource or module yourself per
[Terraform Alibaba Cloud Provider specifications](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/aliyun/alicloud/latest/docs).
```terraform
module "eip" {
source = "github.com/zzxwill/terraform-alicloud-eip"
name = var.name
bandwidth = var.bandwidth
}
variable "name" {
description = "Name to be used on all resources as prefix. Default to 'TF-Module-EIP'."
default = "TF-Module-EIP"
type = string
}
variable "bandwidth" {
description = "Maximum bandwidth to the elastic public network, measured in Mbps (Mega bit per second)."
type = number
default = 5
}
output "EIP_ADDRESS" {
description = "The elastic ip address."
value = module.eip.this_eip_address.0
}
```
For Alibaba Cloud EIP, here is the complete ComponentDefinition. You are warmly welcome to contribute this extended cloud
resource ComponentDefinition to [oam-dev/kubevela](https://github.com/oam-dev/kubevela/tree/master/charts/vela-core/templates/definitions).
```yaml
apiVersion: core.oam.dev/v1alpha2
kind: ComponentDefinition
metadata:
name: alibaba-eip
namespace: {{.Values.systemDefinitionNamespace}}
annotations:
definition.oam.dev/description: Terraform configuration for Alibaba Cloud Elastic IP
labels:
type: terraform
spec:
workload:
definition:
apiVersion: terraform.core.oam.dev/v1beta1
kind: Configuration

configuration: |
module "eip" {
source = "github.com/zzxwill/terraform-alicloud-eip"
name = var.name
bandwidth = var.bandwidth
}
variable "name" {
description = "Name to be used on all resources as prefix. Default to 'TF-Module-EIP'."
default = "TF-Module-EIP"
type = string
}
variable "bandwidth" {
description = "Maximum bandwidth to the elastic public network, measured in Mbps (Mega bit per second)."
type = number
default = 5
}
output "EIP_ADDRESS" {
description = "The elastic ip address."
value = module.eip.this_eip_address.0
}
```
#### Verify
You can quickly verify the ComponentDefinition by command `vela show`.
```shell
$ vela show alibaba-eip
# Properties
+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+----------+---------+
| NAME | DESCRIPTION | TYPE | REQUIRED | DEFAULT |
+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+----------+---------+
| name | Name to be used on all resources as prefix. Default to 'TF-Module-EIP'. | string | true | |
| bandwidth | Maximum bandwidth to the elastic public network, measured in Mbps (Mega bit per second). | number | true | |
| writeConnectionSecretToRef | The secret which the cloud resource connection will be written to | [writeConnectionSecretToRef](#writeConnectionSecretToRef) | false | |
+----------------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+-----------------------------------------------------------+----------+---------+
## writeConnectionSecretToRef
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------+
| NAME | DESCRIPTION | TYPE | REQUIRED | DEFAULT |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------+
| name | The secret name which the cloud resource connection will be written to | string | true | |
| namespace | The secret namespace which the cloud resource connection will be written to | string | false | |
+-----------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------+
```
If the tables display, the ComponentDefinition should work. To take a step further, you can verify it by provision an actual EIP instance per
the doc [Provision cloud resources](../../end-user/components/cloud-services/provider-and-consume-cloud-services#provision-cloud-resources).
