@ramezsaeed well that's a strong argument right there!

I did this to answer issue #182 But since it's not relevant anymore, I will close this PR and close the issue too. Thanks.

There's a misunderstanding here. The two links in the original comment refer to different things. There is:

  1. The cloud-console integration released in Zos 3.7.0 that's has been available on mainnet for some time. This is usable via a webbrowser over a Wireguard connection
  2. An additional integration into the playground based on 1 to activate the feature

It's definitely possible to use cloud-console from Terraform. I can't remember for sure, but I thought it was also working for me on playground deployments (enabled by default maybe).

What's true is that the console is basically read only for now, since there's no root password set in our images so the user can't log in. However, it's still a useful feature to see output from failed deployments (I used it while working on a kernel issue preventing full VMs from booting after an update).
