+# terraform_privisioning
+* This folder contains terraform scripts to manage openstack configurations
+* These require a `clouds.yaml` in `~/.config/openstack/` to provide authentication
+
+## priv_network.tf
+* This terraform scripts creates a private network with a subnet domain of `10.0.0.x`
+* It also adds a router to connect the private network to the external network
+* You must provide a external_network_id to connect to router to
+* The script must be run with `--var-file=vars.tfvars` to pass through the required variables
