Create a product by using a custom template

You can create a product by using a custom ROS or Terraform template. In this example, a Terraform template named create_ecs is written and uploaded to the Service Catalog console.

Template content

The template contains the main.tf file and the variables.tf file. In the two files, the resource field defines the resources that you want to create. In this example, the resources are a virtual private cloud (VPC), a vSwitch, a security group, and an ECS instance. The output field defines the output content that end users can view after a product instance is created. In this example, the content includes the VPC ID, vSwitch ID, and ECS instance ID. The variable field defines the available instance types of the ECS instance to be created by using AllowedValues.

• main.tf
