    The documentation for the online archive resource states that a collection must already exist in order to enable the online archive feature for it: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/mongodb/mongodbatlas/latest/docs/resources/online_archive

    Therefore I think it's pretty important to support creating a collection from Terraform, otherwise it's impossible to use the online archive resource as part of a declarative infrastructure-as-code configuration. Instead we have to resort to some sort of flakey script in a Terraform "provisioner" which is an antipattern.
