Sync repository with upjet-provider-template@90fdc76

[cerealsnow]

During the past year, there have been several updates and changes to the upjet-provider-template. As part of this issue, I would like to sync the provider-opentelekomcloud repository with the commit 90fdc76 of the upjet-provider-template.

Furthermore, I would like to update upjet from v1.4.1 to v1.9.0.

This is part of regular maintenance and prepares the repository for a future Terraform provider upgrade.

Hi @cerealsnow, thanks for your contribution, please describe how relevant crossplane is for you. Are there real demands from clients, or are you using it for internal projects? Currently, work on the provider is frozen, but perhaps this could help reconsider the situation

Hi @anton-sidelnikov, I’m very keen to help get the OTC Crossplane provider moving.

At iits-consulting, we rely heavily on the OTC Terraform provider to provision environments for our managed infrastructure customers. As we scale our service offering, we are looking for a Kubernetes-native approach to provision these environments with Crossplane. There is strong demand on our side for such a provider, which would improve our operational excellence and shorten time-to-market for new customers, ultimately benefiting all the OTC customers we serve.

We have also had customers ask us if OTC offers a Crossplane provider. Homeport, which runs on OTC, would definitely benefit from one.

Hi @cerealsnow ,

I will clarify if we will support it or not. I'll need some days to check it internally.

We are not only planning to use it for Homeport but also for our KumoOps - CloudOps as a Service from iits-consulting.

So basically we have many large OTC customers for whom we provide OTC support. I cannot name them publicly because of NDA reasons, but I guess you know who they are.

We are willing to invest a lot of development support for this provider

Thanks for the clarification. It seems that we can realocate resources which might develop the necessary tools for Crossplane, but we are right now still in a phase of evaluation, because existing topics needs to be finished first :-). I will update this issue asap.
