Description

When doing bringup , the code block

provider "vcf" {
    cloud builder details
}

When doing day1 operations like wld create

provider "vcf" {
   sddc manager details
}

If we want to build one tf file which does all workflows like bringup , host commission , WLD create etc
we cannot do so because after bringup complete , we need to change the content of provider "vcf" with sddc_m details.
Is there a work around for this ?

This can be done with provider aliases.

provider "vcf" {
  alias = "cloud_builder"
  # Cloud builder details configuration
}

provider "vcf" {
  alias = "sddc_manager"
  # SDDC manager details configuration
}

resource "vcf_some_resource" "foo" {
  provider = vcf.cloud_builder
  # Resource configuration for Cloud Builder.
}

resource "vcf_some_resource" "bar" {
  provider = vcf.sddc_manager
  # Resource configuration for SDDC Manager.
}
