Summary

Terraform 1.0 is now generally available, marking a major milestone for interoperability, ease of upgrades, and maintenance for automation workflows. The new version features improved state interoperability between different Terraform versions, allowing users to move between versions without requiring significant changes or tools. Additionally, Terraform 1.0 has an extended maintenance period of at least 18 months, ensuring that HashiCorp will continue to investigate bugs and release features for the 1.0 release. This version also meets four key requirements: broad deployment with many years of hardening in production, understanding and well-supported major use cases, a well-defined user experience, and a mature and stable technical architecture. Users can get started with Terraform 1.0 by reviewing the documentation, trying HashiCorp's Learn tutorials, or attending the Announcing Terraform 1.0 webinar.
