The Path to Modern Infrastructure Automation [Abridged]
summary
Roadmap and product details for Terraform and Packer: Terraform core now offers native Terraform Cloud integration and CDK support, HCL gains HCL pre/postconditions and safer refactoring tools, and the ecosystem lists ~2,200 providers. Packer adds a registry with image visibility, revocation and a Tower-style integration so images update without changing Terraform. New orchestration features include run tasks (HTTP callbacks between plan and apply) and built-in drift detection in Terraform Cloud for Business; concrete fixes for misconfigurations and cost bleed are shown.
