@kapa.ai What is the best way to export source, destination and connection from Airbyte UI to terraform?

Airbyte allows you to create connectors for sources and destinations, facilitating data synchronization between various platforms. You can use Terraform to automate the creation of these connectors and the connections between them. Here's how you can set this up: 1. Navigate to the Airbyte Configuration Directory: Change to the relevant directory containing the Terraform configuration for Airbyte:

cd infra/airbyte

2. Modify Configuration Files: Within the

infra/airbyte

directory, you'll find three crucial Terraform files: - `provider.tf`: Defines the Airbyte provider. - `main.tf`: Contains the main configuration for creating Airbyte resources. - `variables.tf`: Holds various variables, including credentials. Adjust the configurations in these files to suit your project's needs. Specifically, provide credentials for your Postgres and BigQuery connections. You can utilize the

<http://variables.tf|variables.tf>

file to manage these credentials. 3. Initialize Terraform: This step prepares Terraform to create the resources defined in your configuration files.

4. Review the Plan: Before applying any changes, review the plan to understand what Terraform will do.

5. Apply Configuration: After reviewing and confirming the plan, apply the Terraform configurations to create the necessary Airbyte resources.

6. Verify in Airbyte UI: Once Terraform completes its tasks, navigate to the Airbyte UI. Here, you should see your source and destination connectors, as well as the connection between them, set up and ready to go. Please note that this process does not directly export configurations from the Airbyte UI to Terraform. Instead, it uses Terraform to create and manage these configurations. If you want to create the sources and destinations manually via the Airbyte UI, you can follow the guides to [add a source](https://docs.airbyte.com/quickstart/add-a-source), [add a destination](https://docs.airbyte.com/quickstart/add-a-destination), and [create connections](https://docs.airbyte.com/quickstart/create-a-connection) between them.
