Manage Naterialize resources with the Materialize provider

The Materialize provider allows you to create several resource types in your region. Resources correspond to Materialize objects and are configured with the resource block in your Terraform configuration file.

Create Materialize cluster

For example, to create a new cluster, you would use the materialize_cluster resource:

resource "materialize_cluster" "example_cluster" {
  name = "cluster"
}

You can find reference documentation for all the resources available in the Materialize provider in the Terraform registry.

Retrieve Materialize data sources

The Materialize provider supports several data source types to retrieve information about your existing Materialize resources. Data sources can return information about objects defined outside of Terraform and can be used as variables in your configuration with the data block.

For example, to return information about your current clusters, you would use the materialize_cluster data source:

data "materialize_cluster" "all" {}

This data source returns all cluster names and IDs which you can use as variables for new resources.

Import Materialize objects into Terraform state

Terraform allows you to import infrastructure into your current Terraform state file. Importing objects allows you to keep track of infrastructure created outside of the Terraform workflow. The terraform import command lets you specify objects you want Terraform to manage and reduces potential configuration drift. Importing objects allows you to keep related infrastructure in a Terraform state file and let Terraform manage the configuration.

For instance, if you created a cluster in Materialize and wanted to manage that resource with Terraform, you would add create resource block for the resource you want to import in your Terraform configuration:

resource "materialize_cluster.<cluster_name> {
    name = <cluster_name>
}

Next, you would use the terraform import command with the cluster name and ID to associate the object with the resource block:

terraform import materialize_cluster.<cluster_name> <CLUSTER_ID>

Terraform will then manage the cluster and you can use Terraform as the source of truth for your Materialize object.
