Limelight recently completed an integration with HashiCorp’s Terraform platform, an open-source tool for provisioning and managing cloud services. Limelight customers in Ops and DevOps roles can now manage key Limelight services directly from Terraform.
Limelight is also a Verified Provider for Terraform, so customers can access and install the open-source integration software (known as a Terraform provider) via the Terraform Registry. The new provider is also available via Limelight's public GitHub.
Limelight’s Terraform provider supports provisioning and management of two key Limelight services: Content Delivery and EdgeFunctions. Using Terraform, customers can create, update and delete both Content Delivery configurations and EdgeFunctions code instances.
For the EdgeFunctions service, EdgeFunctions can be created, updated and deleted. All of the EdgeFunctions API endpoints are supported.
In the near future, the Limelight Terraform provider will also enable slot provisioning and management for Limelight's Realtime Streaming service, with support for additional services planned in the coming months.
