There are not enough resources to work with the SFC (DCNE-509)

[yevrom]

Hi,

1. there is no resource for exporting an L4-L7 device from its tenant to another tenant
2. There is no resource for exporting a contract, from a tenant where the contract was created to another tenant where the network/epg acts as a consumer
3. There is not enough field in resraces where there will be not just a consumer, but as a Consumed Contract Interface, maybe I'm wrong.

I have described above what is needed to work with the SFC(Service Function Chaining)

@yevrom Thank you for opening the issue.

1. I believe you can export a device using the attribute relation_vns_rs_l_dev_ctx_to_l_dev in the resource aci_logical_device_context.
   Example:

resource "aci_logical_device_context" "example" {
  tenant_dn         = aci_tenant.another_tenant.id
  ctrct_name_or_lbl = "default"
  graph_name_or_lbl = "any"
  node_name_or_lbl  = "any"
  annotation        = "example"
  description       = "from terraform"
  context           = "ctx1"
  name_alias        = "example"
  relation_vns_rs_l_dev_ctx_to_l_dev = "uni/tn-device_tenant/lDevVip-device_to_export"
}

For more details, please go through:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/CiscoDevNet/aci/latest/docs/resources/logical_device_context

2. You can export a contract using relation_vz_rs_if in the resource aci_imported_contract.
   Example:

resource "aci_imported_contract" "example" {
  tenant_dn   = aci_tenant.another_tenant.id
  name        = "another_contract"
  annotation  = "tag_imported_contract"
  description = "from terraform"
  name_alias  = "example"
  relation_vz_rs_if = "uni/tn-export_tenant/brc-contract_to_export"
}

For more details, please go through:
https://registry.terraform.io/providers/CiscoDevNet/aci/latest/docs/resources/imported_contract

3. Can you please let us know which resource you are referring to?

[yevrom]

Thanks for the reply, I'll try these resources. How can I use the exported contract as a consumer?

[yevrom]

Hi, the device did not appear in the Imported device section. I used the resource that you offered me to export device

[yevrom]

I found the resource "aci_epg_to_contract_interface" for the consumer interface. I implemented the "l4_l7 device export" function using the "local-exec" provisioner, in which I used a python file

@yevrom Thank you for letting us know. We will test the resource at our end and address it appropriately.
