The Path to Modern Infrastructure Automation
summary
Shows concrete new Terraform and Packer capabilities: Terraform adds a one-command Terraform Cloud integration, CDK for Terraform (use Python/TypeScript/Go instead of HCL), declarative preconditions and postconditions plus a planned moved statement to refactor state, and a run tasks webhook system with a dozen ready providers; notes over 2,200 providers in the ecosystem. Introduces drift detection in Terraform Cloud for Business and ties Packer images to Terraform so image updates propagate instead of manual UUID edits.
