v1.8.0

Compare Source

1.8.0 (April 10, 2024)

If you are upgrading from Terraform v1.7 or earlier, please refer to
the Terraform v1.8 Upgrade Guide.

NEW FEATURES:

• Providers can now offer functions which can be used from within the Terraform configuration language.

  The syntax for calling a provider-contributed function is provider::provider_name::function_name(). (#​34394)

• Providers can now transfer the ownership of a remote object between resources of different types, for situations where there are two different resource types that represent the same remote object type.

  This extends the moved block behavior to support moving between two resources of different types only if the provider for the target resource type declares that it can convert from the source resource type. Refer to provider documentation for details on which pairs of resource types are supported.

• New issensitive function returns true if the given value is marked as sensitive.

ENHANCEMENTS:

• terraform test: File-level variables can now refer to global variables. (#​34699)

• When generating configuration based on import blocks, Terraform will detect strings that contain valid JSON syntax and generate them as calls to the jsonencode function, rather than generating a single string. This is primarily motivated by readability, but might also be useful if you need to replace part of the literal value with an expression as you generalize your module beyond the one example used for importing.

• terraform plan now uses a different presentation for describing changes to lists where the old and new lists have the same length. It now compares the elements with correlated indices and shows a separate diff for each one, rather than trying to show a diff for the list as a whole. The behavior is unchanged for lists of different lengths.

• terraform providers lock accepts a new boolean option -enable-plugin-cache. If specified, and if a global plugin cache is configured, Terraform will use the cache in the provider lock process. (#​34632)

• built-in "terraform" provider: new decode_tfvars, encode_tfvars, and encode_expr functions, for unusual situations where it's helpful to manually generate or read from Terraform's "tfvars" format. (#​34718)

• terraform show's JSON rendering of a plan now includes two explicit flags "applyable" and "complete", which both summarize characteristics of a plan that were previously only inferrable by consumers replicating some of Terraform Core's own logic. (#​34642)

  "applyable" means that it makes sense for a wrapping automation to offer to apply this plan.

  "complete" means that applying this plan is expected to achieve convergence between desired and actual state. If this flag is present and set to false then wrapping automations should ideally encourage an operator to run another plan/apply round to continue making progress toward convergence.

BUG FIXES:

• core: Sensitive values will now be tracked more accurately in state and plans, preventing unexpected updates with no apparent changes. (#​34567)
• core: Fix incorrect error message when using in invalid iterator argument within a dynamic block. (#​34751)
• core: Fixed edge-case bug that could cause loss of floating point precision when round-tripping due to incorrectly using a MessagePack integer to represent a large non-integral number. (#​24576)
• config: Converting from an unknown map value to an object type now correctly handles the situation where the map element type disagrees with an optional attribute of the target type, since when a map value is unknown we don't yet know which keys it has and thus cannot predict what subset of the elements will get converted as attributes in the resulting object. (#​34756)
• cloud: Fixed unparsed color codes in policy failure error messages. (#​34473)

v1.7.0

Compare Source

1.7.0 (January 17, 2024)

UPGRADE NOTES:

• Input validations are being restored to the state file in this version of Terraform. Due to a state interoperability issue (#​33770) in earlier versions, users that require interaction between different minor series should ensure they have upgraded to the following patches:

  • Users of Terraform prior to 1.3.0 are unaffected;
  • Terraform 1.3 series users should upgrade to 1.3.10;
  • Terraform 1.4 series users should upgrade to 1.4.7;
  • Terraform 1.5 series users should upgrade to 1.5.7;
  • Users of Terraform 1.6.0 and later are unaffected.
    This is important for users with terraform_remote_state data sources reading remote state across different versions of Terraform.

• nonsensitive function no longer raises an error when applied to a value that is already non-sensitive. (#​33856)

• terraform graph now produces a simplified graph describing only relationships between resources by default, for consistency with the granularity of information returned by other commands that emphasize resources as the main interesting object type and de-emphasize the other "glue" objects that connect them.

  The type of graph that earlier versions of Terraform produced by default is still available with explicit use of the -type=plan option, producing an approximation of the real dependency graph Terraform Core would use to construct a plan.

• terraform test: Simplify the ordering of destroy operations during test cleanup to simple reverse run block order. (#​34293)

• backend/s3: The use_legacy_workflow argument now defaults to false. The backend will now search for credentials in the same order as the default provider chain in the AWS SDKs and AWS CLI. To revert to the legacy credential provider chain ordering, set this value to true. This argument, and the ability to use the legacy workflow, is deprecated. To encourage consistency with the AWS SDKs, this argument will be removed in a future minor version.

NEW FEATURES:

• terraform test: Providers, modules, resources, and data sources can now be mocked during executions of terraform test. The following new blocks have been introduced within .tftest.hcl files:

  • mock_provider: Can replace provider instances with mocked providers, allowing tests to execute in command = apply mode without requiring a configured cloud provider account and credentials. Terraform will create fake resources for mocked providers and maintain them in state for the lifecycle of the given test file.
  • override_resource: Specific resources can be overridden so Terraform will create a fake resource with custom values instead of creating infrastructure for the overridden resource.
  • override_data: Specific data sources can be overridden so data can be imported into tests without requiring real infrastructure to be created externally first.
  • override_module: Specific modules can be overridden in their entirety to give greater control over the returned outputs without requiring in-depth knowledge of the module itself.

• removed block for refactoring modules: Module authors can now record in source code when a resource or module call has been removed from configuration, and can inform Terraform whether the corresponding object should be deleted or simply removed from state.

  This effectively provides a configuration-driven workflow to replace terraform state rm. Removing an object from state is a new type of action which is planned and applied like any other. The terraform state rm command will remain available for scenarios in which directly modifying the state file is appropriate.

BUG FIXES:

• Ignore potential remote terraform version mismatch when running force-unlock (#​28853)
• Exit Dockerfile build script early on cd failure. (#​34128)
• terraform test: Stop attempting to destroy run blocks that have no actual infrastructure to destroy. This fixes an issue where attempts to destroy "verification" run blocks that load only data sources would fail if the underlying infrastructure referenced by the run blocks had already been destroyed. (#​34331)
• terraform test: Improve error message for invalid run block names. (#​34469)
• terraform test: Fix bug where outputs in "empty" modules were not available to the assertions from Terraform test files. (#​34482)
• security: Upstream patch to mitigate the security advisory CVE-2023-48795, which potentially affects local-exec and file provisioners connecting to remote hosts using SSH. (#​34426)

ENHANCEMENTS:

• terraform test: Providers defined within test files can now reference variables from their configuration that are defined within the test file. (#​34069)
• terraform test: Providers defined within test files can now reference outputs from run blocks. (#​34118)
• terraform test: Terraform functions are now available within variables and provider blocks within test files. (#​34204)
• terraform test: Terraform will now load variables from any terraform.tfvars within the testing directory, and apply the variable values to tests within the same directory. (#​34341)
• terraform graph: Now produces a simplified resources-only graph by default. (#​34288)
• terraform console: Now supports a -plan option which allows evaluating expressions against the planned new state, rather than against the prior state. This provides a more complete set of values for use in console expressions, at the expense of a slower startup time due first calculating the plan. (#​34342)
• import: for_each can now be used to expand the import block to handle multiple resource instances (#​33932)
• If the proposed change for a resource instance is rejected either due to a postcondition block or a prevent_destroy setting, Terraform will now include that proposed change in the plan output alongside the relevant error, whereas before the error would replace the proposed change in the output. (#​34312)
• .terraformignore: improve performance when ignoring large directories (#​34400)

This fixes an issue where attempts to destroy "verification" run blocks that load only data sources would fail if the underlying infrastructure referenced by the run blocks had already been destroyed. (#​34331)
• cloud: prevent running saved cloud plans in VCS-connected workspaces. Saved plans might be applied later, and VCS workspaces shouldn't apply configurations that don't come from their designated VCS branch.
• core: Unmanaged plugins (mainly used by provider acceptance testing) would not have a provider address set, preventing the caching of their schemas (#​34380)

ENHANCEMENTS:

• backend/s3: The skip_requesting_account_id argument supports AWS API implementations that do not have the IAM, STS, or metadata API. (#​34002)

BUG FIXES:

• config: Using sensitive values as one or both of the results of a conditional expression will no longer crash. [GH-33996]
• config: Conditional expression returning refined-non-null result will no longer crash. [GH-33996]
• cli: Reverted back to previous behavior of ignoring signing key expiration for provider installation, since it's the provider registry's responsibility to verify key validity at publication time. [GH-34004]
• cli: GIT_SSH_COMMAND is now preserved again when fetching modules from git source addresses. [GH-34045]
• cloud: The TF_WORKSPACE environment variable works with the cloud block again; it can specify a workspace when none is configured, or select an active workspace when the config specifies tags. [GH-34012]
• backend/s3: S3, DynamoDB, IAM, and STS endpoint parameters will no longer fail validation if the parsed scheme or hostname is empty. (#​34017)
• backend/s3: Providing a key alias to the kms_key_id argument will no longer fail validation. (#​33993)

v1.6.0

Compare Source

1.6.0 (October 4, 2023)

UPGRADE NOTES:

• On macOS, Terraform now requires macOS 10.15 Catalina or later; support for previous versions has been discontinued.
• On Windows, Terraform now requires at least Windows 10 or Windows Server 2016; support for previous versions has been discontinued.
• The S3 backend has a number of significant changes to its configuration format in this release, intended to match with recent changes in the hashicorp/aws provider:
  • Configuration settings related to assuming IAM roles now belong to a nested block assume_role. The top-level arguments role_arn, session_name, external_id, assume_role_duration_seconds, assume_role_policy_arns, assume_role_tags, and assume_role_transitive_tag_keys are all now deprecated in favor of the nested equivalents. (#​30495)
  • Configuration settings related to overriding the locations of AWS service endpoints used by the provider now belong to a nested block endpoints. The top-level arguments dynamodb_endpoint, iam_endpoint, endpoint (fir S3), and sts_endpoint are now deprecated in favor of the nested equivalents. (#​30492)
  • The backend now uses the following environment variables for overriding the default locations of AWS service endpoints used by the provider: AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_DYNAMODB, AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_IAM, AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_S3, and AWS_ENDPOINT_URL_STS. The old non-standard names for these environment variables are now deprecated: AWS_DYNAMODB_ENDPOINT, AWS_IAM_ENDPOINT, AWS_S3_ENDPOINT, and AWS_STS_ENDPOINT. (#​30479)
  • The singular shared_credentials_file argument is deprecated in favor of the plural shared_credentials_files.
  • The force_path_style argument is deprecated in favor of use_path_style for consistency with the AWS SDK. (#​30491)

NEW FEATURES:

• terraform test: The terraform test command is now generally available. This comes with a significant change to how tests are written and executed, based on feedback from the experimental phase.

  Terraform tests are written in .tftest.hcl files, containing a series of run blocks. Each run block executes a Terraform plan and optional apply against the Terraform configuration under test and can check conditions against the resulting plan and state.

ENHANCEMENTS:

• config: The import block id field now accepts expressions referring to other values such as resource attributes, as long as the value is a string known at plan time. (#​33618)

• Terraform Cloud integration: Remote plans on Terraform Cloud/Enterprise can now be saved using the -out option, viewed using terraform show, and applied using terraform apply with the saved plan filename. (#​33492)

• config: Terraform can now track some additional detail about values that won't be known until the apply step, such as the range of possible lengths for a collection or whether an unknown value can possibly be null.

• core: Provider schemas can now be cached globally for compatible providers, allowing them to be reused throughout core without requesting them for each new provider instance. This can significantly reduce memory usage when there are many instances of the same provider in a single configuration (#​33482)

  When this information is available, Terraform can potentially generate known results for some operations on unknown values. This doesn't mean that Terraform can immediately track that detail in all cases, but the type system now supports that and so over time we can improve the level of detail generated by built-in functions, language operators, Terraform providers, etc. (#​33234)

• config: The try and can functions can now return more precise and consistent results when faced with unknown arguments (#​33758)

• terraform show -json: Now includes errored property, indicating whether the planning process halted with an error. An errored plan is not applyable. (#​33372)

• core: Terraform will now skip requesting the (possibly very large) provider schema from providers which indicate during handshake that they don't require that for correct behavior, in situations where Terraform Core itself does not need the schema. (#​33486)

• backend/kubernetes: The Kubernetes backend is no longer limited to storing states below 1MiB in size, and can now scale by splitting state across multiple secrets. (#​29678)

• backend/s3: Various improvements for consistency with hashicorp/aws provider capabilities:

  • assume_role_with_web_identity nested block for assuming a role with dynamic credentials such as a JSON Web Token. (#​31244)
  • Now honors the standard AWS environment variables for credential and configuration files: AWS_CONFIG_FILE and AWS_SHARED_CREDENTIALS_FILE. (#​30493)
  • shared_config_files and shared_credentials_files arguments for specifying credential and configuration files as part of the backend configuration. (#​30493)
  • Internally the backend now uses AWS SDK for Go v2, which should address various other missing behaviors that are handled by the SDK rather than by Terraform itself. (#​30443)
  • custom_ca_bundle argument and support for the corresponding AWS environment variable, AWS_CA_BUNDLE, for providing custom root and intermediate certificates. (#​33689)
  • ec2_metadata_service_endpoint and ec2_metadata_service_endpoint_mode arguments and support for the corresponding AWS environment variables, AWS_EC2_METADATA_SERVICE_ENDPOINT and AWS_EC2_METADATA_SERVICE_ENDPOINT_MODE for setting the EC2 metadata service (IMDS) endpoint. The environment variable AWS_METADATA_URL is also supported for compatibility with the AWS provider, but is deprecated. (#​30444)
  • http_proxy, insecure, use_fips_endpoint, and use_dualstack_endpoint arguments and support for the corresponding environment variables, HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY, which enable custom HTTP proxy configurations and the resolution of AWS endpoints with extended capabilities. (#​30496)
  • sts_region argument to use an alternative region for STS operations. (#​33693)
  • retry_mode argument and support for the corresponding AWS_RETRY_MODE environment variable to configure how retries are attempted. (#​33692)
  • allowed_account_ids and forbidden_account_ids arguments to prevent unintended modifications to specified environments. (#​33688)

• backend/cos: Support custom HTTP(S) endpoint and root domain for the API client. (#​33656)

BUG FIXES:

• core: Transitive dependencies were lost during apply when the referenced resource expanded into zero instances. (#​33403)
• cli: Terraform will no longer override SSH settings in local git configuration when installing modules. (#​33592)
• terraform built-in provider: The upstream dependency that Terraform uses for service discovery of Terraform-native services such as Terraform Cloud/Enterprise state storage was previously not concurrency-safe, but Terraform was treating it as if it was in situations like when a configuration has multiple terraform_remote_state blocks all using the "remote" backend. Terraform is now using a newer version of that library which updates its internal caches in a concurrency-safe way. (#​33364)
• terraform init: Terraform will no longer allow downloading remote modules to invalid paths. (#​33745)
• Ignore potential remote terraform version mismatch when running force-unlock (#​28853)
• cloud: Fixed a bug that would prevent nested symlinks from being dereferenced into the config sent to Terraform Cloud (#​31895)
• cloud: state snapshots could not be disabled when header x-terraform-snapshot-interval is absent (#​33820)

1.5.0 (June 12, 2023)

NEW FEATURES:

• check blocks for validating infrastructure: Module and configuration authors can now write independent check blocks within their configuration to validate assertions about their infrastructure.

  The new independent check blocks must specify at least one assert block, but possibly many, each one with a condition expression and an error_message expression matching the existing Custom Condition Checks.
  Additionally, check blocks can optionally load a scoped data source. Scoped data sources match the existing data sources with the exception that they can only be referenced from within their check block.

  Unlike the existing precondition and postcondition blocks, Terraform will not halt execution should the scoped data block fail or error or if any of the assertions fail.
  This allows practitioners to continually validate the state of their infrastructure outside the usual lifecycle management cycle.

• import blocks for importing infrastructure: Root module authors can now use the import block to declare their intent that Terraform adopt an existing resource.

  Import is now a configuration-driven, plannable action, and is processed as part of a normal plan. Running terraform plan will show a summary of the resources that Terraform has planned to import, along with any other plan changes.

  The existing terraform import CLI command has not been modified.

  This is an early version of the import block feature, for which we are actively seeking user feedback to shape future development. The import block currently does not support interpolation in the id field, which must be a string.

• Generating configuration for imported resources: in conjunction with the import block, this feature enables easy templating of configuration when importing existing resources into Terraform. A new flag -generate-config-out=PATH is added to terraform plan. When this flag is set, Terraform will generate HCL configuration for any resource included in an import block that does not already have associated configuration, and write it to a new file at PATH. Before applying, review the generated configuration and edit it as necessary.

• Adds a new plantimestamp function that returns the timestamp at plan time. This is similar to the timestamp function which returns the timestamp at apply time (#​32980).

• Adds a new strcontains function that checks whether a given string contains a given substring. (#​33069)

UPGRADE NOTES:

• This is the last version of Terraform for which macOS 10.13 High Sierra or 10.14 Mojave are officially supported. Future Terraform versions may not function correctly on these older versions of macOS.

• This is the last version of Terraform for which Windows 7, 8, Server 2008, and Server 2012 are supported by Terraform's main implementation language, Go. We already ended explicit support for versions earlier than Windows 10 in Terraform v0.15.0, but future Terraform versions may malfunction in more significant ways on these older Windows versions.

• On Linux (and some other non-macOS Unix platforms we don't officially support), Terraform will now notice the trust-ad option in /etc/resolv.conf and, if set, will set the "authentic data" option in outgoing DNS requests in order to better match the behavior of the GNU libc resolver.

  Terraform does not pay any attention to the corresponding option in responses, but some DNSSEC-aware recursive resolvers return different responses when the request option isn't set. This should therefore avoid some potential situations where a DNS request from Terraform might get a different response than a similar request from other software on your system.

ENHANCEMENTS:

• Terraform CLI's local operations mode will now attempt to persist state snapshots to the state storage backend periodically during the apply step, thereby reducing the window for lost data if the Terraform process is aborted unexpectedly. (#​32680)
• If Terraform CLI receives SIGINT (or its equivalent on non-Unix platforms) during the apply step then it will immediately try to persist the latest state snapshot to the state storage backend, with the assumption that a graceful shutdown request often typically followed by a hard abort some time later if the graceful shutdown doesn't complete fast enough. (#​32680)
• pg backend: Now supports the PG_CONN_STR, PG_SCHEMA_NAME, PG_SKIP_SCHEMA_CREATION, PG_SKIP_TABLE_CREATION and PG_SKIP_INDEX_CREATION environment variables. (#​33045)

BUG FIXES:

• terraform init: Fixed crash with invalid blank module name. (#​32781)
• moved blocks: Fixed a typo in the error message that Terraform raises when you use -target to exclude an object that has been moved. (#​33149)
