The HashiCorp Terraform team has announced the launch of the new Terraform Registry, which expands to include Terraform providers in addition to modules. The registry allows users to find and share modules and providers for various infrastructure services, making it easier to reuse infrastructure as code. The first set of providers available on the registry are those maintained by HashiCorp, with plans to add providers from partners and community members in the future. The new registry aims to simplify the process of finding and sharing infrastructure components, enabling users to easily search for modules and providers alongside documentation and reference information.
