terraform - infrastructure as code


why is there feature gaps between, https://github.com/nutanixdev/zerotouch-framework?tab=readme-ov-file and the terraform provider, https://registry.terraform.io/providers/nutanix/nutanix/latest/docs


for example, allows you deploy prism central using https://github.com/nutanixdev/zerotouch-framework/blob/main/config/example-configs/workflow-configs/pc-deploy.yml

 

but there is no terraform resource for prism deployment. why>

The terraform provider requires Prism Central since v3 and v4 APIs are supported only in Prism Central. Early version with PE were pretty limited and since they will be depracating everything but v4 I doubt they are putting any time and energy in the old API versions.

given they support to foundation node, deploying clusters using terraform.

but not deploying prism central seems like a gap in automation.

 

yes they are moving towards API v4 fine.

 

but they need to support the use cases for zero touch.

 

with automation platforms like ansible and terraform,

why is the only place this use case is supported is custom scripts in python?

if they need too, maybe the best place is to extend the functionality to deploy prism central as part of foundation, regardless this needs to be available in an enterprise platform to be implemented in code
