Thinking about setting up my infrastructure using an IaC approach. Need some guidance.
Hi Community,
I have a quick query: I'm in the process of setting up some Linode VMs and I'm aiming to configure them within a dedicated VPC.
Initially, I chose Terraform and began setting everything up. However, I discovered that I cannot create a Linode VM within a specific VPC using Terraform. So, I reverted to Ansible, but I couldn't find a solution for the same objective.
Am I overlooking something in the Terraform documentation or in Ansible? How have you guys addressed similar challenges?
Thanks!

Although it doesn't appear that VPC metadata has yet been added to our Linode Ansible Collection, I was able to find VPC arguments detailed in HashiCorp's Linode Library linked below:
- Docs overview - Linode Registry | Terraform Registry
- linode_instance | Terraform Registry
- linode_vpc_subnet | Terraform Registry
Based on the syntax provided in that Terraform guide, you can add VPC interfaces to your Linodes as-such:
interface {
purpose = "vpc"
subnet_id = 123
ipv4 {
vpc = "10.0.4.250"
}
}
