terraform-provider-btp VS terraform-provider-google

When demoing the Terraform Provider for SAP BTP and talking about the advantages of Infrastructure as Code, one important aspect is that Terraform does not only provision the infrastructure but covers the management of the resources like updating configurations. While this is technically straightforward namely you update and apply the configuration, there are some challenges when doing this in a CI/CD setup.

Another aspect worth to discuss is the integration into existing processes especially on the SAP side of the house. We implemented the flow and the "handling" (namely the creation of a GitHub issue) in an isolated fashion. However, we also received the ask to integrate the flow into the SAP solutions that might already deal with such governance tasks like SAP Cloud ALM. based on that we have a feature request open (link) in the repository of the Terraform Provider for SAP BTP. If you would like to share your point of view or vote for it, this is the place to go.

> DNS without CGO works perfectly

It does not. I know this because it impacts my daily work and the work of others. Honestly if you could make my day and go figure out exactly what's going wrong with the pure go DNS implementation it would make my life alot simpler and I wouldn't have to maintain shell scripts that update etc/hosts to hard code in ipv4 addresses for the APIs I access with terraform.

GCP Terraform Provider

I think the equivalent for AWS is https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/aws/latest/docs and for GCP https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/google/latest/docs

There's an open issue in the gcp provider for exactly this. I'd recommend thumbs-upping it if you haven't already, as well as subscribing to notifications so you can see when there are updates.

only some people inside google could answer that but here's an issue already? https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google/issues/11648

Not sure if you've solved for this or not, but it didn't work for me running terraform as a service account, it appears that it doesn't handle HTTP headers correctly: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google/issues/6738 but it does work with impersonation of that account, which is what I did. Note that your org can only have 1 access policy, and in my case I had to make google_access_context_manager_access_level anyways.

All I can find is an old thread saying cannot do. https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-google/issues/6413 Has there been any update to this, or does anyone know of a work around?

If you followed that request, you get to this PR which added the feature and updated this documentation
