@kapa.ai, I want to start a terraform repository for storing Airbyte Infrastructure as a Code. Could you explain how to do it or point to some reference to read more about it?

To start a Terraform repository for storing Airbyte infrastructure as code, you can follow these steps: 1. Navigate to the Airbyte Configuration Directory: This is where your Terraform configuration files will be located. 2. Create the Main Configuration Files: You will need three main configuration files within your Terraform setup: - `provider.tf`: Defines the Airbyte provider, credentials, and the server URL. - `main.tf`: Contains the main configuration for creating Airbyte resources. - `variables.tf`: Holds various variables, including credentials. Here is a brief overview of what each file might look like: - provider.tf:
Copy code
hcl     terraform {       required_providers {         airbyte = {           source  = "airbytehq/airbyte"           version = "x.y.z"  # specify the required version         }       }     }      provider "airbyte" {       server_url = var.server_url       api_key    = var.api_key     }
- main.tf:
Copy code
hcl     resource "airbyte_workspace" "example" {       name = "example_workspace"     }      resource "airbyte_source" "example" {       name       = "example_source"       workspace_id = airbyte_workspace.example.id       source_definition_id = "source-definition-id"       connection_configuration = jsonencode({         "host"     = "example_host"         "port"     = 5432         "database" = "example_db"         "username" = "example_user"         "password" = "example_password"       })     }      resource "airbyte_destination" "example" {       name       = "example_destination"       workspace_id = airbyte_workspace.example.id       destination_definition_id = "destination-definition-id"       connection_configuration = jsonencode({         "host"     = "example_host"         "port"     = 5432         "database" = "example_db"         "username" = "example_user"         "password" = "example_password"       })     }
- variables.tf:
Copy code
hcl     variable "server_url" {       description = "The URL of the Airbyte server"       type        = string     }      variable "api_key" {       description = "The API key for Airbyte"       type        = string     }
3. Version Control: Store these configuration files in a Git repository to manage changes and collaborate with your team. 4. Additional Resources: For more detailed guidance, you can refer to the following resources: - [Getting started with Airbyte's Terraform provider](https://reference.airbyte.com/reference/using-the-terraform-provider) - [YouTube tutorial on using Airbyte with the new Terraform provider](

) - Examples of data stacks using the Terraform provider in the [quickstarts repository](https://github.com/airbytehq/quickstarts) By following these steps, you can set up a Terraform repository to manage your Airbyte infrastructure as code effectively.
