Databases does support VPE but error message is confusing

[lionelmace]

If you try to provision VPE to target a Mongo DB with Public Endpoint you face the error message Service does not support VPE extensions.

Mongo does actually support VPE extensions, but you need to make sure your Cloud Databases deployment's private endpoint is enabled.

The error message Service does not support VPE extensions. should be replaced by Make sure your Cloud Databases deployment's private endpoint is enabled before creating VPE extensions.

  name              = "${var.prefix}-mongo"

  version           = "4.2"
  service_endpoints = "private"

@lionelmace , we are working on it..

Hello. https://github.com/IBM-Cloud/terraform-provider-ibm/releases/tag/v1.38.1 release made today covers the VPE changes.

@astha-jain

I run the same test with v1.38.1 and I still get the same error Create Endpoint Gateway failed Service does not support VPE extensions

Here is the terraform files I'm using to reproduce: https://github.com/lionelmace/ibmcloud-utils/tree/master/terraform/mongo

@lionelmace This release doesn't yet support the fix for Create Endpoint Gateway failed Service does not support VPE extensions

The developement is in progress ...it will be part of next mid (pre release)

I upgrated to terraform provider version 1.44.3.

I'm facing again the error Create Endpoint Gateway failed Service does not support VPE extensions

What's wrong?

I don't reproduce any more. There must be some instability on the VPC side....
