Summary

HashiCorp has announced the general availability of no-code provisioning in Terraform Cloud Business, allowing organizations to provide self-service infrastructure to their application developers without requiring any knowledge of Terraform or HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). This feature provides validated self-service infrastructure, additional security through more granular permissions, and ease of use with variable options as dropdowns. New features include variable input dropdowns, which allow admins to create guardrails for what attributes are applied to infrastructure, variable sets for projects, which enable teams to assign granular cloud credentials for their no-code teams, and scope "manage workspace" permissions to a project, allowing teams with project-level Admin or Maintain permissions to provision no-code ready modules directly into their project. The key benefits of this feature include increased productivity, cost efficiency, and reduced risk, as well as the ability to provide self-service infrastructure without requiring any knowledge of Terraform or HCL from the user.
