# Provider Tiers
|
|
|
|
There are three tiers of providers in the Terraform Registry:
|
|
|
|
* **Official Providers** - are built, signed, and supported by HashiCorp. Official Providers can typically be used without providing
|
|
provider source information in your Terraform configuration.
|
|
* **Partner Providers** - are built, signed, and supported by a third party. HashiCorp has verified the ownership of the private
|
|
key and we provide a chain of trust to the CLI to verify this programatically. To use Partner Providers in your Terraform
|
|
configuration, you need to specify the namespace and name to download from the registry.
|
|
* **Community Providers** - are built, signed, and supported by a third party. HashiCorp does not provide a verification or chain
|
|
of trust for the signing. You will want to obtain and validate fingerprints manually if you want to ensure you are using a
|
|
binary you can trust.
