Elastic ❤️ Terraform: And Why They're Splitting Up Their Providers
summary
Elastic splits its Terraform integration into two real providers: a cloud provider that provisions managed Elasticsearch clusters and a stack provider that talks to Elasticsearch and Kibana REST APIs to configure ingest pipelines, index templates and dashboards. Both are written in Go, support automated testing (there is a simulate API to validate grok pipelines against a cluster), and accept local-exec curl hacks for missing Kibana APIs. Azure bundles its own wrapper but lacks full feature parity.
