@jbw976 mentioned that having an example YAML generated with the skeleton schema could help bootstrapping the examples. For example, we can have an example YAML generated like the following:

#
# This file is generated by Terrajet to help the author of examples.
# Please uncomment the lines once you test and make sure the example works.
#
#apiVersion: ec2.aws.tf.crossplane.io/v1alpha1
#kind: Instance
#metadata:
#  name: sample-instance
#spec:
#  forProvider:
#    region: some_value
#    ami: some_value
#    instanceType: some_value

Here is the source of examples for aws_instance: https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-provider-aws/blob/main/website/docs/r/instance.html.markdown#example-usage

@ulucinar Bunch of PRs have been opened. As we talked last week, could you write down about the approach you're taking in this issue and some other possible options for discussion before going further?

Closing this issue as we have generated example manifests for the big three providers with the following PRs:

• Add Scraped Example Manifests crossplane-contrib/provider-jet-azure#111
• Add example manifests crossplane-contrib/provider-jet-gcp#19
• Generate example manifests crossplane-contrib/provider-jet-aws#138
  , and we now have a separate issue for discussing the Terrajet pipeline(s) and metadata scraping from the Terrajet registry in a one-pager format.
