Developer Releases: Tools and Resources
Akamai Terraform Provider 5.2.0
Version 5.2.0 of Akamai Terraform Provider, which was released at the end of August, included important updates BotMan and PAPI and the addition of Cloud Wrapper and Client Lists.
For Cloud Wrapper, the added resources akamai_cloudwrapper_activation and akamai_cloudwrapper_configuration make it possible to use the activateCloud wrapper configuration, import Cloud Wrapper configuration activation, and create, read and update Cloud Wrapper configurations. We’ve added six data sources, such as akamai_cloudwrapper_capacities, which reads capacities available for the provided contract IDs, and akamai_cloudwrapper_locations which reads all locations.
For Client Lists, akamai_clientlist_list was added as a resource to create, update, and delete Client Lists, while akamai_clientlist_activation activates a client list. The added data source akamai_clientlist_lists reads Client Lists and supports filtering by name and/or types.
