Terraform / OpenTofu official provider

[JC-LB]

Hi,

Terraform is becoming more and more popular thanks to it's state management, moreover we now have the nice OpenTofu fork out due to license change.

A nice netbox TF provider is avaible at GitHub
The documentation is on TF registry

I think it should become official, and support it in both directions (as a data source FROM netbox, and also as a ressource manager to push to netbox).

Additionally, in a later roadmap there could be a generator to create the Go code for the provider based upon the NetBox plugins you have. It's always the same and depend on the schema for each type of object.
There could also have direct support for the most common plugins in the release, such as BGP,

Here are the reasons I think it would be nice to have

1. Vendors like Cisco or Fortigate are making complete and efficient TF providers, letting now you manage your network just like you would do with a AWS VPC. Thus simply because more and more customer asks for TF support, as it's most of the time one of the cleanest ways to maintain config and dependencies.
2. Terraform/OpenToFu could become an easy to move data IN and OUT, without needing plugins. e.g import FW ACL, Cisco ACI config, Wireless AP infos and so on
3. This would help entreprises that got stuff on cloud providers to exchange with NetBox
4. 80% of the job might be done thanks to the already existing TF provider
