You can override default values that are in your variables.tf file.
- Alternatively these values can be supplied via the command line or environment variables, see https://www.terraform.io/intro/getting-started/variables.html.
You'll need to export the following environment variables:
TF_VAR_ibmcloud_api_key- your IBM Cloud api key
On OS X this is achieved by entering the following into your terminal, replacing the <value> characters with the actual values (remove the <>:
export TF_VAR_ibmcloud_api_key=<value>
