+name: Provider issue (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.)
+about: Do you have a bug, feature request, or other issue with a provider (not Terraform core or the HCL language itself)?
+---
+
+Hi there,
+
+Each provider has it's own repository, and issues should be opened there not on the main Terraform repository.
+
+Here are some of the most common:
+
+* [AWS](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws)
+* [Azure](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-azurerm)
+* [Google](https://github.com/terraform-providers/terraform-provider-aws)
+
+See the [terraform-providers](https://github.com/terraform-providers) GitHub organization for many others.
