Feature request: Provider resource to perform `juju exec` operations

[vishvikkrishnan]

Requirements

Wishlisting this feature request to have a standalone resource for juju exec operations.

It is handy to use juju exec to perform operations not (yet) readily exposed as charm actions. Currently, this requires using the local-exec provisioner.

Urgency

Casually wishlisting

Notes & References

resource "terraform_data" "prevent_upgrades" {
  depends_on = [terraform_data.juju_wait_for_end]
  provisioner "local-exec" {
    command = <<-EOT
      juju exec -m $MODEL --all -- sudo snap refresh --hold
      juju exec -m $MODEL --all -- sudo sed -i 's/APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "1";/APT::Periodic::Unattended-Upgrade "0";/' /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/*
    EOT
    environment = {
      MODEL = module.juju_model.model_name
    }
  }
}

At the moment there is no plan to support juju exec via the Juju Terraform provider. We have plans to support charm actions, though. It seems that there already is a workaround using local-exec and it sounds like this should be a feature request for the charm.
