     }

   provider "st-tencentcloud" {

   }
   

Why Custom Provider

This custom provider exists due to some of the resources and data sources in the official Tencent Cloud Terraform provider may not fulfill the requirements of some scenario. The reason behind every resources and data sources are stated as below:

Resources

• st-tencentcloud_cam_user_group_attachment

  The official TencentCloud Terraform provider's resource tencentcloud_cam_group_membership will remove all other attached users for the target group, which may cause a problem where Terraform may delete those users attached outside from Terraform.

• st-tencentcloud_enable_mfa_device

  The official TencentCloud Terraform provider does not have the resource to enforce MFA for login.

  • st-tencentcloud_cdn_path_based_rule The official TencentCloud Terraform provider's resource (https://registry.terraform.io/providers/tencentcloudstack/tencentcloud/latest/docs/resources/cdn_domain) does not support adding path-based rules in CDN.

Data Sources

• st-tencentcloud_clb_load_balancers

  • The official TencentCloud Terraform provider's data source tencentcloud_clb_instances do not support filtering load balancers with tags.

  • Added client_config block to allow overriding the Provider configuration.

• st-tencentcloud_cdn_domains

  • The official TencentCloud Terraform provider's data source tencentcloud_cdn_domains do no support querying CDN Domains from other account. This is solved by adding client_config block to allow overriding the Provider configuration.
