A VPC Virtual Server with SSH Keys, No Floating IP, Secure Boot and Your Key on the Boot Volume

A VPC virtual server in your subnet with the SSH keys you name and no password, security groups on the primary interface, no floating IP, the boot volume encrypted with a Key Protect key (IBM's key by name), secure boot on, and the metadata service on so a trusted profile can be the instance identity instead of a stored API key.

This is the operations reference: version drift, dependants and neighbours. For what the module provisions, its inputs and outputs, and how to buy it, see the catalogue entry.

Provider drift

This artifact declares no Terraform provider requirements, so there is nothing to drift. Provider freshness applies to Terraform and OpenTofu modules.

What depends on this

No reference architecture names this module, so changing it affects only configurations that reference it directly.

Nearest alternatives

Same cloud, same category. These are what you would weigh against it without changing provider.

The same job on other clouds

Virtual Machines on other providers. Useful when the cloud is still open, or when you are pricing a second one. How far a comparison like that can be trusted is covered in comparing clouds.
