configurations management. Thus we can export all the existing resources into
several `.tf` files that represent the declarative resources. Also, we can
import it via uploading files onto Dashboard or just run `terraform apply`.
This will give us full-fledged functionality for user data import/export.

@tokers
yep, the most commonly used scenarios of Terraform are for cloud
provisioning. While as a matter of fact, Terraform is a great tool that can
handle all the cases as long as Declarative Configuration is needed. For
example, we can also find the Github/Gitlab providers for the
repository/branch/privilege/user management here [[1]].
With regards to APISIX, a minimum feasible Terraform `.tf` configurations
may seems like this:
```terraform
provider "apisix" {
# Assume we use Admin API here
url = "https://your-apisix-server-addr:9080/";
access_user = "admin"
access_key = "the-access-key-for-admin-api"
}
resource "apisix_route" "route_1" {
name = "r1"
desc = "for buzi1"
uri = "/foo/bar"
host = "foo.com"
methods = ["GET", "HOST"]
status = 1
labels = {
"k1": "v1",
"k2": "v2"
}
upstream_id = ${apisix_upstream.upstream_1.id}
}
resource "apisix_upstream" "upstream_1" {
name = "u1"
type = "chash"
key = "remote_addr"
nodes = {
"127.0.0.1:80": 1,
"foo.com:80": 2
}
}
```
This would bring us the reproducible APISIX resource definitions. For
backup/restore, we need to support export these definitions as the format of
Terraform templates stored in `.tf` files.
Please let me know what do you think. Maybe we all need much more
discussion. Thanks.
