Thus we can export all the existing resources into several `.tf` files that represent the declarative resources. Also, we can import it via uploading files onto Dashboard or just run `terraform apply`. This will give us full-fledged functionality for user data import/export.

   > > yep, the most commonly used scenarios of Terraform are for cloud provisioning. While as a matter of fact, Terraform is a great tool that can handle all the cases as long as Declarative Configuration is needed. For example, we can also find the Github/Gitlab providers for the repository/branch/privilege/user management here [[1](https://registry.terraform.io/browse/providers)].

   @tokers Really sorry for my late reply. I will send the proposal to mailing list for further disuccsions. Thanks for the guidance.
