Resource definition

What this resource looks like

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

CUE example
resources: {
  vpcPeering: {
  	apiVersion: "praxis.io/alpha"
  	kind:       "VPCPeeringConnection"
  	metadata: name: "\(_naming.prefix)-to-shared"
  	spec: {
  		region:         _naming.region
  		requesterVpcId: "${resources.vpc.outputs.vpcId}"
  		accepterVpcId:  "${data.sharedVpc.outputs.vpcId}"
  		autoAccept:     true
  		requesterOptions: allowDnsResolutionFromRemoteVpc: true
  		accepterOptions: allowDnsResolutionFromRemoteVpc:  true
  		tags: #InfraTags
  	}
  }
}

Read without ownership

Data-source lookup

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

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