Why Custom Provider

This custom provider exists due to some of the resources and data sources in the official Tencent Cloud Terraform provider may not fulfill the requirements of some scenario. The reason behind every resources and data sources are stated as below:

Resources

• st-tencentcloud_cam_user_group_attachment

  The official TencentCloud Terraform provider's resource tencentcloud_cam_group_membership will remove all other attached users for the target group, which may cause a problem where Terraform may delete those users attached outside from Terraform.

Data Sources

• st-tencentcloud_clb_load_balancers

  The official TencentCloud Terraform provider's data source tencentcloud_clb_instances do not support filtering load balancers with tags.
