Agree we can ask that.
Is infra from ASF the place to ask this?

I can confirm that the Terraform plugin is working if it is already installed,
since it was archived it no longer automatically downloads when applying unless
manually installed.
From the Hashicorp website, it appears it was archived when they moved all
plugins to their registry and needs an owner and an email to Hashicorp to be
moved into to the registry and supported again when running Terraform. I use it
regularly but haven’t got the technical skills to maintain the code so been
hoping this would be resolved.
I mailed Hashicorp to ask about this:
"Thanks for reaching out. The provider was archived because we launched
the Terraform Registry last year which allows vendors to host and
publish their own providers. We'd be happy to work with you to transfer
the repository over to a CloudStack Github organization where you can
build and publish releases to the registry.
We'd also like to have CloudStack join our Technology partnership
program so I can mark your Terraform provider as verified."
So I think we don't need to do much technology-wise.
I don't use Terraform and don't have a major stake in it, but I would
hate to see the Provider being removed from Terraform.
Should we request https://github.com/apache/cloudstack-terraform at
infra and then host the Provider there?

Hi all,
Terraform CoudStack provider by Hashicorp is archived here
https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-cloudstack
Is anyone using or maintaining it?
We are also using it heavily and are somewhat worried about the module being
archived.
Agreed. But do we know why this has been done? What needs to be done to
un-archive it?
If it's just a matter of some love and attention we can maybe arrange
something.
Is it technically broken or just abandoned?
This is just an educated guess, but given that we're not experiencing any
technical issues, I believe it has just been abandoned.

We're aware of Ansible CloudStack module
(https://docs.ansible.com/ansible/latest/scenario_guides/guide_cloudstack.html)
but are there any other alternatives of Terraform that you may be using with
CloudStack?
The ansible module is working quite well. However, one of the advantage of
terraform imho is that one can easily destroy defined infrastructure with one
command, while with ansible 'the destrcution' needs to be implemented in the
playbook. Another advantage is that (at least) Gitlab can now maintain
terraform states, which quite nicely supports GitOps approaches.
