Summary

Fixes #927

  • Adds --vpc-id flag to all IBM Cloud targets that run on VPC networking: openshift-snc, kind, ibm-z, and ibm-gaudi
  • When --vpc-id is provided, mapt reuses the existing VPC and only provisions a new subnet inside it, avoiding VPC quota limits
  • Refactors network.Network struct: replaces VPC *ibmcloud.IsVpc with VPCID pulumi.StringOutput so callers work uniformly whether the VPC was created or provided
  • IBM Power target is unaffected (uses Power Systems networking, not VPC)
  • Docs updated for all four affected targets

Test plan

  • mapt ibmcloud openshift-snc create with --vpc-id <existing-vpc-id> — verifies subnet is created inside existing VPC, no new VPC resource provisioned
  • mapt ibmcloud kind create with --vpc-id — same check
  • mapt ibmcloud ibm-z create with --vpc-id — same check
  • mapt ibmcloud ibm-gaudi create with --vpc-id — same check
  • All four targets without --vpc-id still create a new VPC as before

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

Add support for reusing an existing VPC across all IBM Cloud targets
that run on VPC networking (snc, kind, ibm-z, ibm-gaudi). When
--vpc-id is provided the VPC resource and address prefix are skipped
and a new subnet is provisioned inside the existing VPC, allowing
users to work within account VPC quota limits (issue redhat-developer#927).

The network module Network struct now exposes VPCID pulumi.StringOutput
instead of a VPC resource pointer, so callers work uniformly regardless
of whether the VPC was created or provided.

IBM Power target is unaffected as it uses Power Systems networking.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • IBM Cloud Gaudi, IBM Z, Kind, and single-node cluster creation now support an optional --vpc-id to reuse an existing VPC while provisioning a subnet.
    • Networking behavior is documented, including when region and zone settings are required and how to reuse an existing VPC.
  • Documentation

    • Added examples showing how to create resources in an existing VPC.

Walkthrough

IBM Cloud create commands for Gaudi, IBM Z, Kind, and SNC now accept an optional VPC ID. Provider actions pass it to shared network provisioning, which can reuse that VPC and returns its ID alongside the network resources. Documentation describes this option and provides examples.

Changes

IBM Cloud VPC reuse

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared network provisioning
pkg/provider/ibmcloud/modules/network/network.go
NetworkArgs accepts an optional VPC ID. When supplied, provisioning reuses that VPC and skips VPC and address-prefix creation. Otherwise, it creates both. The result includes the resolved VPC ID.
Provider action VPC selection
pkg/provider/ibmcloud/action/ibm-gaudi/ibm-gaudi.go, pkg/provider/ibmcloud/action/ibm-z/ibm-z.go, pkg/provider/ibmcloud/action/kind/kind.go, pkg/provider/ibmcloud/action/snc/snc.go, pkg/target/service/snc/api.go
The four provider actions pass an optional VPC ID to network provisioning and use the returned VPC ID for the instance. Gaudi and IBM Z resolve the zone only when neither a VPC ID nor a subnet ID is set. SNCArgs adds the VPC ID field.
Create command VPC flags
cmd/mapt/cmd/ibmcloud/hosts/ibm-gaudi.go, cmd/mapt/cmd/ibmcloud/hosts/ibm-z.go, cmd/mapt/cmd/ibmcloud/services/kind.go, cmd/mapt/cmd/ibmcloud/services/snc.go
Each create command registers a VPC ID flag and passes its configured value to the provider action.
VPC reuse documentation
docs/ibmcloud/ibm-gaudi.md, docs/ibmcloud/ibm-z.md, docs/ibmcloud/kind.md, docs/ibmcloud/openshift-snc.md
The documentation describes VPC reuse and subnet creation, and includes command examples using --vpc-id. Gaudi and IBM Z docs also describe the region and zone requirements for this mode.

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to d84cd

The new --vpc-id option crashes on the IBM Z and Gaudi targets when it is used without a subnet. On other targets, reusing an existing VPC may fail if the VPC does not accept the fixed subnet range. Fix both before merging.

Explanation

The PR also adds the --vpc-id feature, provider wiring, implementation, and documentation for ibm-z and ibm-gaudi. Issue #927 directly requests Kind and SNC only. The shared network refactor supports the requested feature, but standalone target support for IBM Z and IBM Gaudi is not required by #927.

## Networking

By default a new VPC, subnet, and public gateway are created. When `--vpc-id` is provided, mapt reuses the existing VPC and only provisions a new subnet inside it — useful when the account is near the VPC quota limit.

Resolve the zone when only --vpc-id is supplied. Both actions skip zone resolution when VpcID is set, then dereference the nil zone while deploying the new subnet. The documented VPC-only path panics before provisioning starts.

Select a usable subnet CIDR when reusing a VPC.

If an existing VPC has an address prefix outside 10.0.2.0/24, or already has a subnet using that range, NewIsSubnet cannot create the subnet. The new reuse branch skips address-prefix creation but still supplies the fixed cidrSN. Select an available CIDR within the existing VPC before creating the subnet.
