The structure is divided into five main parts:
main.go: Plugin entry.examples: Example directory, which contains examples that can be used directly.tencentcloud: Plugin directory storing service code, where:provider.go: Plugin root describing plugin attributes, such as the configured key, list of supported resources, and callback configuration.data_source_*.go: Defines some resources for read calls, mainly query APIs.resource_*.go: Defines some resources for write calls, including APIs for resource CRUD.service_*.go: Contains some public methods under broad resource categories.vendor: Contains dependent third-party libraries.website: Contains documents as important as examples.Provider lifecycle
The Terraform execution process is as shown below:
Note:
1 - 4: Looks for the provider and loads the tencentcloud plugin.5: Reads your configuration file to get the resources you declared and their states.6: Calls different functions (Create/Update/Delete/Read) based on the resource state.Create
Terraform determines adding a new resource configuration to a
.tf file as Create.Update
Terraform determines modifying one or more parameters of a resource already created in a
.tf file as Update.Delete
Terraform determines deleting the resource configuration already created in a
.tf file or running the terraform destroy command as Delete.Read
Read is a resource query operation that checks whether a resource exists and updates the resource attributes locally.tencentcloud-sdk-go
tencentcloud-sdk-go is a TencentCloud API SDK for Go and used to call TencentCloud APIs for resource management.
