# Upgrading to Terraform v1.0
|
|
|
|
Terraform v1.0 is an unusual release in that its primary focus is on stability,
|
|
and it represents the culmination of several years of work in previous major
|
|
releases to make sure that the Terraform language and internal architecture
|
|
will be a suitable foundation for forthcoming additions that will remain
|
|
backward-compatible.
|
|
|
|
Terraform v1.0.0 intentionally has no significant changes compared to Terraform
|
|
v0.15.5. You can consider the v1.0 series as a direct continuation of the v0.15
|
|
series.
|
|
|
|
There are no special steps to take if you are upgrading from the previous
|
|
major release, Terraform v0.15.
|
|
|
|
You can also upgrade directly from Terraform v0.14 if you wish, although please
|
|
still consider the notes from [the Terraform v0.15 upgrade guide](/language/upgrade-guides/0-15).
|
|
If you are affected by the notes in that upgrade guide, you will still need to
|
|
take the steps described there but you can do so as part of upgrading to v1.0,
|
|
without any need for an intermediate step of running Terraform v0.15.
|
|
|
|
If you are currently using Terraform v0.13 or earlier then we strongly
|
|
recommend upgrading one major version at a time until you reach Terraform v0.14,
|
|
following the upgrade guides of each of those versions, because those earlier
|
|
versions include mechanisms to automatically detect necessary changes to your
|
|
configuration, and in some cases also automatically edit your configuration
|
|
to include those changes. One you reach Terraform v0.14 you can then skip
|
|
directly from there to Terraform v1.0.
|
|
|
|
The following table summarizes the above recommendations. In each case, we
|
|
recommend using the latest patch release from each major version in order to
|
|
complete your upgrade.
|
|
|
|
| Current Version | Recommendation |
|
|
| ---------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|
|
| v0.10 or earlier | Refer to the upgrade guides for these historical versions until you have upgraded to the latest v0.11 release, then refer to the following item. |
|
|
| v0.11 | Use [the `terraform 0.12checklist` command](/language/upgrade-guides/0-12#pre-upgrade-checklist) to detect any situations that must be addressed before upgrading to v0.12, resolve them, and then upgrade to the latest v0.12 release and follow [the v0.12 Upgrade Guide](/language/upgrade-guides/0-12). |
|
|
| v0.12 | Upgrade to the latest Terraform v0.13 release and then follow [the v0.13 upgrade guide](/language/upgrade-guides/0-13) to upgrade your configuration and state for explicit provider requirements. |
|
|
| v0.13 | Upgrade to the latest Terraform v0.14 release and attempt a normal Terraform run. If you encounter any new errors, refer to [the v0.14 upgrade guide](/language/upgrade-guides/0-14) for resolution steps. |
|
|
| v0.14 | Upgrade directly to the latest Terraform v1.0 release and attempt a normal Terraform run. If you encounter any new errors, refer to [the v0.15 upgrade guide](/language/upgrade-guides/0-15) for resolution steps. |
|
|
| v0.15 | Upgrade directly to the latest Terraform v1.0 release and attempt a normal Terraform run. Terraform v1.0 is a continuation of the v0.15 series, and so v1.0.0 and later are directly backward-compatible with Terraform v0.15.5. |
|
|
|
|
-> If you run into any problems during upgrading, please feel free to start a
|
|
topic in [the Terraform community forum](https://discuss.hashicorp.com/c/terraform-core),
|
|
describing the problem you've encountered in enough detail that other readers
|
|
may be able to reproduce it and offer advice.
|
|
|
|
## Remote State Compatibility
|
|
|
|
In a more complex system you might have multiple separate Terraform
|
|
configurations that collaborate together using
|
|
[the `terraform_remote_state` data source](/language/state/remote-state-data).
|
|
|
|
In that case, it's typical for some configurations to be applied with a new
|
|
version before others do, causing differences in the state snapshot format
|
|
between your different configurations.
|
|
|
|
If you are upgrading from Terraform v0.14 or Terraform v0.15 to Terraform v1.0
|
|
then you can upgrade your configurations in any order, because all three of
|
|
these versions have intercompatible state snapshot formats.
|
|
|
|
Upgrading from v0.13 or earlier in a multi-configuration environment may
|
|
require more explicit planning to ensure state snapshot compatibility. Please
|
|
refer to the previous release upgrade guides for more information, and upgrade
|
|
only one major version at a time until you reach Terraform v0.14.
