automated creation of public cloud project with terraform

[loeken]

I tried creating a ovh_cloud_project using terraform, but it failed with errors, after some sifting through documentation ( no the terraform provider but some ovh docs page ) i found this line:

"You should have at least 3 public cloud projects currently (note that there is a 3 project limit by default, which can be raised by a support ticket)"

I then created 3 empty projects and asked my limits to be raised ( which they were raised to 6 projects total ). After this my terraform code was successful and project was created.

@mhurtrel confirmed this to be due to payment validation: https://github.com/ovh/terraform-provider-ovh/issues/229 <- this was the original ticket

I would like to be able to create a ovh_cloud_project using terraform without having to create 3 projects first and create a ticket for project quoto to be raised for me to be able to use terraform.

maybe in the meantime at least add a note to the terraform docs about this requirement as i didnt find anything there in relation to this requirement

Hi, sorry for the late answer to this issue. It makes totally sense to me that this minimum (=3) projects threshold is a small barrier for Infra as code rapid implementation. I will consider this request and see how we can satisfy it or if any various antifraud mecanisms prevent from changing this minimum threshold. I'll let you informed.
