Resource definition

What this resource looks like

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

CUE example
resources: {
  publicRT: {
  	apiVersion: "praxis.io/alpha"
  	kind:       "RouteTable"
  	metadata: name: "\(_naming.prefix)-public-rt"
  	spec: {
  		region: _naming.region
  		vpcId:  "${resources.vpc.outputs.vpcId}"
  		routes: [{
  			destinationCidrBlock: "0.0.0.0/0"
  			gatewayId:            "${resources.igw.outputs.internetGatewayId}"
  		}]
  		associations: [
  			{subnetId: "${resources.publicSubnetA.outputs.subnetId}"},
  			{subnetId: "${resources.publicSubnetB.outputs.subnetId}"},
  		]
  		tags: #WebTags
  	}
  }
}

Desired state

Configuration

The spec block accepts 5 fields. 2 are required by the schema; fields with defaults can be omitted.

regionRequired

Region.

string

vpcIdRequired

Vpc ID.

routesOptional

Routes.

[...#Route]
List
associationsOptional

Associations.

[...#Association]
List
tagsOptional

Tags.

Observed values

Outputs

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

Read without ownership

Data-source lookup

A data block reads an existing RouteTable 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: "RouteTable"
  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 RouteTable. The example starts in observed mode so Praxis reports drift without correcting it.

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