You also create multiple providers by specifying the --name flag.

$ vela provider add terraform-aws --name aws-dev --AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=xxx --AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=yyy --AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1

Provision cloud resources

After a Terraform provider is authenticated, you can provision and/or consume cloud resources.
