Jelastic: any plan to create an official Terraform provider?
Topology-as-a-Code is already supported in Jelastic using JPS/CloudScripting. Docs are here. Many examples of how to describe different topologies in a code can be found here. Terraform is definitely a good tool, but its focus is mostly oriented to plain IaaS providers where containers / services orchestration abilities are limited.
Jelastic supports the creation of a Kubernetes or Docker swarm cluster easily through its "Marketplace". So what you could try is using the Terraform Kubernetes adapter and point it at the Jelastic instance.
See:

However, I would love real platform support myself too.
