Martin Atkins 383bbdeebc Upgrade to Go 1.17
This includes the addition of the new "//go:build" comment form in addition
to the legacy "// +build" notation, as produced by gofmt to ensure
consistent behavior between Go versions. The new directives are all
equivalent to what was present before, so there's no change in behavior.

Go 1.17 continues to use the Unicode 13 tables as in Go 1.16, so this
upgrade does not require also upgrading our Unicode-related dependencies.

This upgrade includes the following breaking changes which will also
appear as breaking changes for Terraform users, but that are consistent
with the Terraform v1.0 compatibility promises.

- On MacOS, Terraform now requires macOS 10.13 High Sierra or later.

This upgrade also includes the following breaking changes which will
appear as breaking changes for Terraform users that are inconsistent with
our compatibility promises, but have justified exceptions as follows:

- cidrsubnet, cidrhost, and cidrnetmask will now reject IPv4 CIDR
  addresses whose decimal components have leading zeros, where previously
  they would just silently ignore those leading zeros.

  This is a security-motivated exception to our compatibility promises,
  because some external systems interpret zero-prefixed octets as octal
  numbers rather than decimal, and thus the previous lenient parsing could
  lead to a different interpretation of the address between systems, and
  thus potentially allow bypassing policy when configuring firewall rules
  etc.

This upgrade also includes the following breaking changes which could
_potentially_ appear as breaking changes for Terraform users, but that do
not in practice for the reasons given:

- The Go net/url package no longer allows query strings with pairs
  separated by semicolons instead of ampersands. This primarily affects
  HTTP servers written in Go, and Terraform includes a special temporary
  HTTP server as part of its implementation of OAuth for "terraform login",
  but that server only needs to accept URLs created by Terraform itself
  and Terraform does not generate any URLs that would be rejected.

Terraform

Terraform

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.

The key features of Terraform are:

  • Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.

  • Execution Plans: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.

  • Resource Graph: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.

  • Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.

For more information, see the introduction section of the Terraform website.

Getting Started & Documentation

Documentation is available on the Terraform website:

If you're new to Terraform and want to get started creating infrastructure, please check out our Getting Started guides on HashiCorp's learning platform. There are also additional guides to continue your learning.

Show off your Terraform knowledge by passing a certification exam. Visit the certification page for information about exams and find study materials on HashiCorp's learning platform.

Developing Terraform

This repository contains only Terraform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins, and Terraform can automatically download providers that are published on the Terraform Registry. HashiCorp develops some providers, and others are developed by other organizations. For more information, see Extending Terraform.

To learn more about compiling Terraform and contributing suggested changes, please refer to the contributing guide.

To learn more about how we handle bug reports, please read the bug triage guide.
