# Configure Cloud Connector rules using Terraform

You can create Cloud Connector rules using the [Terraform Cloudflare provider ↗](https://registry.terraform.io/providers/cloudflare/cloudflare/latest).

To get started with Terraform for Cloudflare configuration, refer to [Get started](https://developers.cloudflare.com/terraform/installing/).

## Required permissions

The [API token](https://developers.cloudflare.com/fundamentals/api/get-started/create-token/) used by Terraform must have at least the following permission:

* _Zone_ \> _Cloud Connector_ \> _Write_

## Example configuration

Note

Terraform code snippets below refer to the v4 SDK only.

The following example Terraform configuration creates Cloud Connector rules for various [supported providers](https://developers.cloudflare.com/rules/cloud-connector/providers/) to route traffic between them based on URI paths:

```
resource "cloudflare_cloud_connector_rules" "cloud_connector_rules" {  zone_id = "<ZONE_ID>"
  rules {    description = "Route /data to GCP bucket"    enabled     = true    expression  = "(http.request.uri.path wildcard \"*/data/*\")"    provider    = "gcp_storage"    parameters {      host = "mystorage.storage.googleapis.com"    }  }
  rules {    description = "Route /resources to AWS bucket"    enabled     = true    expression  = "(http.request.uri.path wildcard \"*/resources/*\")"    provider    = "aws_s3"    parameters {      host = "mystorage.s3.ams.amazonaws.com"    }  }
  rules {    description = "Route /files to Azure bucket"    enabled     = true    expression  = "(http.request.uri.path wildcard \"*/files/*\")"    provider    = "azure_storage"    parameters {      host = "mystorage.blob.core.windows.net"    }  }
  rules {    description = "Route /images to R2 bucket"    enabled     = true    expression  = "(http.request.uri.path wildcard \"*/images/*\")"    provider    = "cloudflare_r2"    parameters {      host = "mybucketcustomdomain.example.com"    }  }}
```
