Scaleway Integration

Overview

Scaleway cloud provider for managing compute instances, Kapsule Kubernetes clusters, object storage, and managed databases.

Instructions

CLI COMMANDS (use cloud_exec with 'scaleway')

CRITICAL: Always use cloud_exec('scaleway', 'command') for Scaleway commands, NOT terminal_exec! The cloud_exec tool has your Scaleway credentials configured.

Discovery Commands:

• List projects: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'account project list')
• List zones: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance zone list')
• List instance types: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance server-type list')
• List images: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance image list')

Instance Management:

• List instances: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance server list')
• Create instance: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance server create type=DEV1-S image=ubuntu_jammy name=my-vm')
• With zone: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance server create type=DEV1-S image=ubuntu_jammy name=my-vm zone=fr-par-1')
• Start/Stop/Reboot: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance server start|stop|reboot <SERVER_ID>')
• Delete: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance server delete <SERVER_ID>')
• SSH into server: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'instance server ssh <SERVER_ID>')

Kubernetes (Kapsule):

• List clusters: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'k8s cluster list')
• Create cluster: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'k8s cluster create name=my-cluster version=1.28 cni=cilium')
• Get kubeconfig: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'k8s kubeconfig get <CLUSTER_ID>')
• List pools: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'k8s pool list cluster-id=<CLUSTER_ID>')
• Create pool: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'k8s pool create cluster-id=<CLUSTER_ID> name=worker-pool node-type=DEV1-M size=3')

Object Storage:

• List buckets: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'object bucket list')
• Create bucket: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'object bucket create name=my-bucket')

Databases:

• List instances: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'rdb instance list')
• Create instance: cloud_exec('scaleway', 'rdb instance create name=my-db engine=PostgreSQL-15 node-type=DB-DEV-S')

TERRAFORM FOR SCALEWAY

Use iac_tool - provider.tf is AUTO-GENERATED, just write the resource! Scaleway Terraform provider: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/scaleway/scaleway/latest/docs

INSTANCE EXAMPLE:

resource "scaleway_instance_server" "vm" {
  name  = "my-vm"
  type  = "DEV1-S"
  image = "ubuntu_jammy"
  # Optional: specify zone (defaults to fr-par-1)
  # zone = "fr-par-1"
}

KUBERNETES (KAPSULE) CLUSTER:

resource "scaleway_k8s_cluster" "cluster" {
  name    = "my-cluster"
  version = "1.28"
  cni     = "cilium"
}

resource "scaleway_k8s_pool" "pool" {
  cluster_id = scaleway_k8s_cluster.cluster.id
  name       = "worker-pool"
  node_type  = "DEV1-M"
  size       = 3
}

OBJECT STORAGE BUCKET:

resource "scaleway_object_bucket" "bucket" {
  name = "my-bucket"
}

DATABASE (RDB) INSTANCE:

resource "scaleway_rdb_instance" "db" {
  name           = "my-database"
  engine         = "PostgreSQL-15"
  node_type      = "DB-DEV-S"
  is_ha_cluster  = false
  disable_backup = false
}

Common Scaleway Terraform resources:

• scaleway_instance_server - Virtual machines
• scaleway_instance_ip - Public IP addresses
• scaleway_instance_security_group - Firewall rules
• scaleway_k8s_cluster - Kubernetes clusters
• scaleway_k8s_pool - Kubernetes node pools
• scaleway_object_bucket - Object storage buckets
• scaleway_rdb_instance - Managed databases
• scaleway_vpc_private_network - Private networks
• scaleway_lb - Load balancers

DO NOT write terraform{} or provider{} blocks - they are auto-generated!

When to use Terraform vs CLI:

• CLI (cloud_exec): Quick single resource ops, listing, inspection
• Terraform (iac_tool): Complex deployments, multi-resource setups, user explicitly requests 'terraform' or 'IaC'

CRITICAL RULES

• ALWAYS use cloud_exec('scaleway', ...) NOT terminal_exec for Scaleway commands!
• Scaleway CLI uses key=value syntax, NOT --key value for most parameters
• Common instance types: DEV1-S, DEV1-M, DEV1-L, GP1-XS, GP1-S, GP1-M
• Common images: ubuntu_jammy, ubuntu_focal, debian_bookworm, debian_bullseye
• Default region: fr-par, zones: fr-par-1, fr-par-2, fr-par-3
• Default SSH username for instances: root
