Resource definition

What this resource looks like

This is the CUE shape a Praxis template uses to declare a InternetGateway. The resource key is local to the template; metadata.name supplies its stable Praxis identity.

CUE example
resources: {
  igw: {
  	apiVersion: "praxis.io/alpha"
  	kind:       "InternetGateway"
  	metadata: name: "\(_naming.prefix)-igw"
  	spec: {
  		region: _naming.region
  		vpcId:  "${resources.vpc.outputs.vpcId}"
  		tags:   #StandardTags
  	}
  }
}

Desired state

Configuration

The spec block accepts 3 fields. 3 are required by the schema; fields with defaults can be omitted.

regionRequired

region is the AWS region.

string
String
vpcIdRequired

vpcId is the VPC to attach the internet gateway to.

string

tagsRequired

tags applied to the internet gateway resource.

Observed values

Outputs

Praxis records these values after observation. A dependent resource can read one with ${resources.<name>.outputs.<field>}.

internetGatewayIdString
vpcIdString
ownerIdString
stateString

Read without ownership

Data-source lookup

A data block reads an existing InternetGateway and exposes its outputs without storing lifecycle state. The generic filter surface accepts id, name, and tag; supported combinations depend on the AWS identity used by this resource.

CUE data source
data: existing: {
  kind: "InternetGateway"
  region: "us-west-2"
  filter: {
    name: "replace-with-provider-name"
  }
}

Adopt existing infrastructure

Import

Import persists Praxis state for an existing AWS resource. For this kind, supply: Provider identifier for the existing InternetGateway. The example starts in observed mode so Praxis reports drift without correcting it.

CLI
praxis import InternetGateway \
  --id <provider-identifier> \
  --region us-west-2 \
  --account production \
  --observe
