Integration: Cluster Registration Terraform Provider for GitOps Integration

[elliotxx]

What would you like to be added?

Develop a Terraform provider for cluster registration to enable seamless GitOps integration. This provider will facilitate automated cluster creation, deletion, and management through Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and GitOps workflows.

Requirements Source: #783

Why is this needed?

Currently, there is no efficient way to manage cluster registration and lifecycle operations through GitOps and Terraform. This feature will provide several benefits:

1. Enhanced Automation: Enable fully automated cluster management using Terraform.
2. GitOps Compatibility: Align with GitOps practices for declarative infrastructure management.
3. Scalability: Support bulk cluster operations and consistent management across environments.
4. Ease of Use: Provide a simple and reliable way to integrate cluster registration into existing IaC pipelines.

This feature will streamline cluster management processes and improve operational efficiency.

I have an interest in this one. I'd like to know if this one will be considered to do, as it is labeled as awaiting-more-evidence.

@jinjiaKarl I think it's necessary and valuable, but the current iteration is already fully scheduled, so I've moved it to the next milestone (v0.8.0). But if you are interested in it, I'm glad to entrust it to you!

[jinjiaKarl]

Yeah thanks, I could start this slowly since it is moved to the next milestone. I only have experience using some IaC tools, such as Terraform, CDK, etc.. Could you please give me some tips or instructions on this one? And where is the code put?

@jinjiaKarl There's no rush to develop this feature, you can follow your pace. And it's a quite interesting feature. I have initialized the terraform-provider-karpor repository, which only contains example code, perhaps you can start with the official guide. You can refactor everything except for the .github directory, and the development mode is the same as Karpor, enjoy!

Thanks for the quick action, awesome!
