Let’s Get Started with Terraform for Astra DB

DataStax has released an open-source Terraform provider for its Astra DB, simplifying scripting of database creation, roles, security tokens, and access lists. The provider acts as a translation layer between the Terraform engine commands and the vendor's platform. Terraform is easy to use once familiar with it; users create files describing their desired end-state for the database, after which Terraform either creates or destroys it based on specific commands. The Astra provider currently focuses on creating databases, roles, security tokens, and access lists but does not yet support table creation or data population.
