HashiCorp has announced the public beta availability of Terraform 0.13, a major release with several key improvements and new features, including enhanced module-centric workflows, a new required providers syntax, custom variable validation, and support for Terraform login, which simplifies collaboration using Terraform Cloud. The new version builds on the powerful language improvements made in the previous release, making it easier to discover and initialize community providers from the Registry and distinguish between official HashiCorp-supported providers and partner-supported ones.
