Hi Team,  
Do we have yugabyte terraform provider available ?  
I am planning to create Yugabyte universe using terraform.  
I couldn’t find any terraform provider for the same. Is there a better way to do that apart from null\_resource ?  
Do we have this support in roadmap in near future ?

Regards,  
Mustafa

Hi @_mustafa_bhabhrawala

Have you seen [GitHub - yugabyte/terraform-aws-yugabyte: A Terraform module to deploy and run YugabyteDB on AWS.](https://github.com/yugabyte/terraform-aws-yugabyte) ?

Hi @dorian_yugabyte,

Yes I have checked this link already. It itself is using the null resource to achieve things. Also this is automating whole YB Platform creation whereas I am just looking for YB universe creation / management automation in existing YB DB Anywhere setup which we have.  
As of now the approach I am following is running API calls in null\_resource of terraform to create / manage YB DB universes  
Please suggest me if there is any better approach which I can implement here

Thanks & Regards,  
Mustafa

I don’t believe terraform is the correct tool for that.

Maybe a deployment tool like saltstack,chef,etc would be better for this?
