The provider FQN is becoming our primary identifier for a provider, so it's important that we are clear about the equality rules for these addresses and what characters are valid within them. We previously had a basic regex permitting ASCII letters and digits for validation and no normalization at all. We need to do at least case folding and UTF-8 normalization because these names will appear in file and directory names in case-insensitive filesystems and in repository names such as on GitHub. Since we're already using DNS-style normalization and validation rules for the hostname part, rather than defining an entirely new set of rules here we'll just treat the provider namespace and type as if they were single labels in a DNS name. Aside from some internal consistency, that also works out nicely because systems like GitHub use organization and repository names as part of hostnames (e.g. with GitHub Pages) and so tend to apply comparable constraints themselves. This introduces the possibility of names containing letters from alphabets other than the latin alphabet, and for latin letters with diacritics. That's consistent with our introduction of similar support for identifiers in the language in Terraform 0.12, and is intended to be more friendly to Terraform users throughout the world that might prefer to name their products using a different alphabet. This is also a further justification for using the DNS normalization rules: modern companies tend to choose product names that make good domain names, and now such names will be usable as Terraform provider names too. |

Terraform
- Website: https://www.terraform.io
- Forums: HashiCorp Discuss
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
If you're new to Terraform and want to get started creating infrastructure, please checkout our Getting Started guide, available on the Terraform website.
All documentation is available on the Terraform website:
Developing Terraform
This repository contains only Terraform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins that each have their own repository in the terraform-providers organization on GitHub. Instructions for developing each provider are in the associated README file. For more information, see the provider development overview.
To learn more about compiling Terraform and contributing suggested changes, please refer to the contributing guide.
