Just as with the old installer mechanism, our goal is that explicit provider installation is the only way that new provider versions can be selected. To achieve that, we conclude each call to EnsureProviderVersions by writing a selections lock file into the target directory. A later caller can then recall the selections from that file by calling SelectedPackages, which both ensures that it selects the same set of versions and also verifies that the checksums recorded by the installer still match. This new selections.json file has a different layout than our old plugins.json lock file. Not only does it use a different hashing algorithm than before, we also record explicitly which version of each provider was selected. In the old model, we'd repeat normal discovery when reloading the lock file and then fail with a confusing error message if discovery happened to select a different version, but now we'll be able to distinguish between a package that's gone missing since installation (which could previously have then selected a different available version) from a package that has been modified. |

Terraform

- Certification Exam: HashiCorp Certified: Terraform Associate
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 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.
