Hi All, Update - Peter and I had a call with Chris from Hashicorp to discuss the issue. They've agreed to relicense their terraform provider codebase to Apache License v2.0, following which we should be able to continue any further development, maintenance, and releases by the Apache CloudStack project much like the kubernetes provider codebase. I'll start a vote thread on the same shortly. Regards.

Hi there Rohit & all, maybe worth to know, one of major dependencies used by the provider is a CloudStack stub which can be found here: Project URL: https://github.com/xanzy/go-cloudstack Dependency link: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-cloudstack/blob/9ca483a88d6ba5559b241db5b537ad7eaaa417a1/vendor/modules.txt#L218 kind regards Peter Muryshkin Fraunhofer Cloud Services Von: Rohit Yadav Gesendet: Montag, 1.

I don't use Terraform and don't have a major stake in it, but I would hate to see the Provider being removed from Terraform. Should we request https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-terraform at infra and then host the Provider there?

The ansible module is working quite well. However, one of the advantage of terraform imho is that one can easily destroy defined infrastructure with one command, while with ansible 'the destrcution' needs to be implemented in the playbook. Another advantage is that (at least) Gitlab can now maintain terraform states, which quite nicely supports GitOps approaches.

Re: [DISCUSS] Terraform CloudStack provider
I can confirm that the Terraform plugin is working if it is already installed, since it was archived it no longer automatically downloads when applying unless manually installed. From the Hashicorp website, it appears it was archived when they moved all plugins to their registry and needs an owner and an email to Hashicorp to be moved into to the registry and supported again when running Terraform. I use it regularly but haven’t got the technical skills to maintain the code so been hoping this would be resolved.

This is just an educated guess, but given that we're not experiencing any technical issues, I believe it has just been abandoned.

Agreed. But do we know why this has been done? What needs to be done to un-archive it? If it's just a matter of some love and attention we can maybe arrange something.
