Notes

Note

To use this module, it is required to set the below environment variables which enables access to the Centurylink Cloud - CLC_V2_API_USERNAME, the account login id for the centurylink cloud - CLC_V2_API_PASSWORD, the account password for the centurylink cloud

Note

Alternatively, the module accepts the API token and account alias. The API token can be generated using the CLC account login and password via the HTTP api call @ https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login - CLC_V2_API_TOKEN, the API token generated from https://api.ctl.io/v2/authentication/login - CLC_ACCT_ALIAS, the account alias associated with the centurylink cloud

Note

Users can set CLC_V2_API_URL to specify an endpoint for pointing to a different CLC environment.
