Versions: Terraform, Providers, & Modules; Oh My!
summary
Timeline of concrete changes and tools for upgrading Terraform: Terraform splits provider binaries in 0.10 so providers release independently, the module registry 0.11 adds versioned modules, HCL2 lands in 0.12, modules gain count and provider selection in 0.13, state format sits at version 4, and 1.0 promises no further core breaking changes. Practical tooling includes tfm and tfswitch for selecting binaries, Dependabot for provider PRs, and tfmigrate/tf state move for automated module and state migrations.
