Triggers and actions

Some API operations are one-off actions with no idempotent “get” — reset, rebuild, migration, hour reservation. Both providers model these as trigger strings: the action fires only when the value changes, and you re-fire it by changing the value again.

One-shot triggers

Action	Terraform attribute	Pulumi input	Resource
Reset / reboot	`reset_trigger`	`resetTrigger`	baremetal
OS rebuild (wipe + reinstall)	`rebuild_os`	`rebuildOs`	baremetal, neolite VM, neolite pro VM
GPU OS rebuild	`rebuild_trigger`	`rebuildTrigger`	gpu instance
GPU reserve additional hours	`reserve_additional_hours_trigger`	`reserveAdditionalHoursTrigger`	gpu instance
Migrate to NEO Lite Pro	`migrate_to_pro`	`migrateToPro`	neolite VM

Terraform

resource "biznetgio_neolite_vm" "main" {
  # ...
  rebuild_os = "ubuntu-22"   # fires once, when the value changes
}

To rebuild again, change the value — a common pattern is timestamps or counters:

  rebuild_os = "ubuntu-22#${timestamp()}"

Rebuilds wipe the VM disk. Use them deliberately.

Pulumi

const vm = new biznetgio.NeoliteVm("demo-vm", {
  // ...
  rebuildOs: "ubuntu-22",   // fires when this string changes
});

Change the string to re-fire — e.g. rebuildOs: "ubuntu-22-" + Date.now() (computed at program evaluation).

Declarative power state

Power actions are declarative, not triggers: the provider calls the API only when the desired state differs.

Service	Values	Terraform	Pulumi
NEO Lite / Pro	`start` `stop` `suspend` `resume` `shutdown`	`power_state`	`powerState`
NEO Metal	`on` `off`	`power_state`	`powerState`

resource "biznetgio_neolite_vm" "main" {
  # ...
  power_state = "stop"
}

const vm = new biznetgio.NeoliteVm("demo-vm", {
  // ...
  powerState: "stop",
});

If the portal (or someone else) changes the power state out of band, the next apply/up reconciles it.

Side-effecting data sources

gpu_console / gpuConsole mints a new one-time console session on every read. Treat it as an action, not as a lookup: reference it where a fresh session is wanted, and never inside values evaluated during plan diffing.
