Description

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/IBM-Cloud/ibm/latest/docs

The example includes ibm functions that have been deprecated. This should be removed.
Release notes: https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/openwhisk?topic=openwhisk-openwhisk-relnotes

# Create a Cloud Functions action
resource "ibm_function_action" "nodehello" {
  name      = "action-name"
  namespace = "function-namespace-name"
  exec {
    kind = "nodejs:10"
    code = file("hellonode.js")
  }
}

After a little editing got this error:

ibm_is_instance.testacc_instance: Creating...
╷
│ Error: image not found
│
│   with ibm_is_instance.testacc_instance,
│   on ibm.tf line 49, in resource "ibm_is_instance" "testacc_instance":
│   49: resource "ibm_is_instance" "testacc_instance" {
│

Using a data for the image would be nice:

Then the profile no longer supported:

│ Error: profile b-2x8 has generation 'gc', must specify a profile with generation 'gt'
│
│   with ibm_is_instance.testacc_instance,
│   on ibm.tf line 54, in resource "ibm_is_instance" "testacc_instance":
│   54: resource "ibm_is_instance" "testacc_instance" {
│

Here is the instance with both of the changes:

data "ibm_is_image" "ubuntu" {
  name = "ibm-ubuntu-22-04-1-minimal-amd64-3"
}

resource "ibm_is_instance" "testacc_instance" {
  name    = "testinstance1"
  image   = data.ibm_is_image.ubuntu.id
  # cli: ibmcloud is instance-profiles
  profile = "bx2-2x8"
