Description

Now the deployment methods for SkyWalking are limited, we only have Helm Chart for users to deploy in Kubernetes, other users that are not using Kubernetes have to do all the house keeping stuffs to set up SkyWalking on, for example, VM.

 

This issue aims to add a Terraform provider, so that users can conveniently  spin up a cluster for demonstration or testing, we should evolve the provider and allow users to customize as their need and finally users can use this in their production environment.

 

In this task, we will mainly focus on the support for AWS. In the Terraform provider, users need to provide their access key / secret key, and the provider does the rest stuffs: create VMs, create database/OpenSearch or RDS, download SkyWalking tars, configure the SkyWalking, and start the SkyWalking components (OAP/UI), create public IPs/domain name, etc.
