Difference between opentelekomcloud_ecs_instance_v1 and opentelekomcloud_compute_instance_v2? #2546

Closed dschemp closed 2 months ago

dschemp commented 2 months ago

What is the difference between the resources opentelekomcloud_ecs_instance_v1 and opentelekomcloud_compute_instance_v2? That isn't clear from the docs and may even look like they are two completely different things (although I guess they are the same other then the version?)

Hi @dschemp, this is different apis, compute is openstack api, and ecs otc custom api. You can use both, they provide almost the same options for ECS instances

dschemp commented 2 months ago

Is there any preferation on which one to use? Nonetheless it would be helpful to add this to the docs.

It’s best to start with the API documentation since all resources are based on it. Both resources are generates ECS instances, so the choice depends on your familiarity. If you’re comfortable with OpenStack, go with the OpenStack option, otherwise, choose any. The Terraform provider documentation only includes essential information specific to provider. Official providers for any cloud platform typically do not contain detailed API information or user guides.
