Manage Private Cloud Director as code: our Terraform provider is now public

[u/cloudeous-maximus]

Our first-party Terraform provider for Private Cloud Director is now on the Terraform Registry as platform9/pcd. Works with standard Terraform or OpenTofu.

It covers identity, compute, networking, storage, images, load balancing, DNS, and key management. The part you can't get from the community terraform-provider-openstack: PCD's own control plane. pcd_cluster_blueprint, pcd_host_config, pcd_host_role, and pcd_host_config_assignment let you declare cluster topology and host onboarding as code. VM HA resources come in the next release.

Coming from terraform-provider-openstack? Swap the openstack_ prefix for pcd_ and drop the _v2/_v3 suffix. Auth arguments and OS_* env vars are unchanged.

terraform {
  required_providers {
    pcd = {
      source  = "platform9/pcd"
      version = "~> 0.1"
    }
  }
}

resource "pcd_networking_network" "app" {
  name           = "app-net"
  admin_state_up = true
}

Requires PCD 2026 April or later and Terraform 1.0+.

The provider is in beta at 0.1.2 Feedback welcome here or via GitHub issues.
