Order of interfaces in host creation not consistent

[bitkeks]

When creating a Foreman host, the interfaces_attributes argument can be passed in to configure the network interfaces.

At the moment, it seems to not be possible to set the order of the created interfaces. This might break scenarios in which the first interface is automatically the PXE-interface, but might not be the primary interface.

We will further investigate this issue.

I am passing that using JSON encoding.

resource "foreman_host" "host" {
  for_each            = { for x in local.all_nodes : x.Name => x }
  name                = each.value.Name
  build               = true
  domain_id           = var.domain_id
  compute_profile_id  = can(each.value.computeprofile) ? module.globalresource[each.value.computeprofile] : var.compute_profile_id
  compute_resource_id = var.compute_resource_id
  hostgroup_id        = can(each.value.hostgroup) ? module.globalresource[each.value.hostgroup] : var.hostgroup_id
  image_id            = can(each.value.image) ? module.globalresource[each.value.image] : var.image_id
  operatingsystem_id  = can(each.value.operatingsystem) ? module.globalresource[each.value.operatingsystem] : var.operatingsystem_id
compute_attributes = jsonencode({
    cpus: can(each.value.CPUs) ? each.value.CPUs : null,
    memory_mb: can(each.value.memory_gb) ? each.value.memory_gb * 1024 : null
})
  model_id            = 0
  owner_id            = 3
  owner_type          = "User"
  retry_count         = 2
interfaces_attributes {
  type      = "interface"
  primary   = true
  provision = true
  managed   = true
  ip        = can(each.value.IP) ? each.value.IP : null
  subnet_id = can(each.value.Network) ?  module.globalresource[replace(each.value.Network, " Network", "")]  : var.subnet_id
  compute_attributes = {
    "network" = can(each.value.Network) ? each.value.Network : var.network_id
    "type"    = "VirtualVmxnet3"
  }

}
parameters = {
    "puppet_environment" = var.puppetnenvironment
  }

}

you can try this way you can manage subnet , network interface and even pass the static IP for new provision VM so that it can stick to that ip
