Summary

The Cloud Development Kit for Terraform 0.4 introduces experimental Go language support, asset construct, and improved Terraform Cloud integration, allowing users to write Terraform configurations in multiple languages, simplify workflows that require assets to be deployed, and streamline output from Terraform Cloud. The new release adds support for the Go language, simplifies deploying files or folders alongside newly provisioned resources, and improves the ability to work with Terraform modules and remote templates. With these enhancements, users can experiment with writing infrastructure as code in Go, deploy full Terraform modules sourced from the same sources as Terraform Core, and divide their applications into logical stacks representing tiers, stages, and regions. The CDK for Terraform project has grown significantly since its 0.1 launch, and users are encouraged to provide feedback on the new experimental Go support through community office hours, discussion forums, and issue trackers.
