Activations
akamai_appsec_activations
Activates or deactivates a security configuration.
Security configurations activated on the staging network can be used for testing and fine-tuning; security configurations activated on the production network are used to protect your actual websites.
Note that activation fails if the security configuration includes one or more invalid hostnames. You can find these names in the resulting activation error message. To activate the configuration, remove the invalid hosts and try again.
Note also that the notification_emails
attribute is currently ignored when an activation is updated and it is the only modified attribute.
Reference the version number of the security configuration being activated or, if you run terraform destroy
, the version being deactivated.
resource "akamai_appsec_activations" "activation" {
config_id = data.akamai_appsec_configuration.configuration.config_id
network = "STAGING"
note = "This configuration was activated for testing purposes only."
notification_emails = ["user@example.com"]
version = data.akamai_appsec_configuration.configuration.latest_version
}
In the preceding example, version
is set to latest_version, a security configuration attribute that references the most recent version of the configuration. If you use latest_version (generally recommended) you’ll automatically activate the most recent configuration version. However, you can hard-code a specific version number if you prefer:
version = 5
Note that you do not have to upgrade to version 2.0.0. If you decide not to upgrade, the akamai_appsec_activations resource continues to function the way it has always functioned.
Scopes: Security configuration
Example
terraform {
required_providers {
akamai = {
source = "akamai/akamai"
}
}
}
provider "akamai" {
edgerc = "~/.edgerc"
}
data "akamai_appsec_configuration" "configuration" {
name = "Documentation"
}
resource "akamai_appsec_activations" "activation" {
config_id = data.akamai_appsec_configuration.configuration.config_id
network = "STAGING"
note = "This configuration was activated for testing purposes only."
notification_emails = ["user@example.com"]
version = data.akamai_appsec_configuration.configuration.latest_version
}
Argument reference
The following arguments are supported:
-
config_id
(Required). Unique identifier of the security configuration being activated. -
version
(Required). Version of the security configuration to be activated. -
notification_emails
(Required). JSON array containing the email addresses of the people to be notified when activation is complete. -
network
(Optional). Network on which activation will occur; if not included, activation takes place on the staging network. Allowed values are:- PRODUCTION
- STAGING
-
note
(required). Brief description of the activation or deactivation process. If no attributes have changed since the last time you called the akamai_appsec_activations resource, neither activation nor deactivation takes place. That's because something must be different in order to trigger one of these processes. Because of that, it's recommended that you always update thenotes
argument. Doing so ensures that the resource is called and activation or deactivation occurs. This argument applies only to versions prior to 2.0.0. -
activate
(Optional). Set to true to activate the specified security configuration or set to false to deactivate the configuration. If not included, the security configuration is activated.
