[Feature Request]: Assign block storage to instance

[various89]

What feature would you like to have in the provider?

It would be nice to have the capability to attach the created volume to a specific instance or server.

e.g.

resource "exoscale_block_storage_volume" "example" {
  name  = var.name
  size  = var.size
  zone  = var.zone
  server_id = var.server_id
}

other providers for reference:

https://registry.terraform.io/providers/ionos-cloud/ionoscloud/latest/docs/resources/volume#server_id

Hi,
thanks for the request. We do provide this functionality in the exoscale_compute_instance resource https://registry.terraform.io/providers/exoscale/exoscale/latest/docs/resources/compute_instance#block_storage_volume_ids

I'm closing this, but feel free to reply if I misunderstood and we'll reopen this.

Hi,

thanks I'm aware of the functionality provided in the exoscale_compute_instance.
It would be beneficial to have this functionality in both directions, instance -> volume and volume -> instance.

Thinking of circular dependencies, at least in our project, are harder to resolve if this functionality is only implemented in one direction.

I'm not sure I understand, doesn't the fact that the functionality is not implemented in both directions prevent circular dependencies?

Perhaps you can share more details about your use case to make this clearer?

How does Terraform handle moving a volume from one instance to another without that?
