NSXT Service interface design consideration

Original design This is the starting point of the infrastructure. A classic design that lot of enterprises have or used to have. Virtual Machine (VM) and Bare Metal Server (BMS) are sharing a same vlan behind a firewall. Everything begins when the VM wants to move to a more virtual infrastructure with distributed routing and firewalling. In this case they want to move to VMware NSXT. From a physical point of view, the migration is performed on leaf and spine infrastructure that we will call the underlay.

NSX-T Firewall rules as code with Terraform

This article is to show an example of how to manage NSX-T firewall rules as a code through Terraform. You can find the project on my github account : nsxt-frac-tf-cm and nsxt-frac-tf-rm I will describe the structure of the project, how it works, the data model, the Terraform code explanation and finish with an example. Structure of the project The diagram below shows a summary of how I organized the project in order to fully use infrastructre as code.
