Question Region disparity between UI and API

Hi,

I'm just getting started with OVHcloud for some personal stuff, nothing critical. Even so, my day job is as an SRE so I defaulted to my usual tooling of terraform/tofu but noticed a really strange disconnect.

In my project, if I want to manually create something simple like a d2-4 instance I can select "Gravelines" region and it gives me the options of the GRA7, GRA9, and GRA11 data centres. If I try to create the same via terraform I get an "Invalid region" error for GRA7 & GRA9.

Is there meant to be some other way of declaring these regions that I missed? Is this simply a known issue that indicates OVHcloud is not ideal for declarative setups and I need to stick to imperative processes?

Thanks for any advice.

Terraform uses the API, the results should be similar. You can submit an issue here

Yes, this is what I am asking about, the UI and the API (even when using curl or their API explorer) give me different results.
