The Terraform provider deprecation plan for Terraform 0.11 in new releases of officially maintained providers will begin with AWS, AzureRM, Google, and Kubernetes providers. This move aims to allow faster delivery of new features by utilizing the updated functionality in Terraform's configuration language and communication layer between Terraform and providers. The deprecation process consists of two phases, starting from today and continuing into next year, during which issues related to 0.11 versions will be closed, and running `terraform init` will only download new provider versions if using TF 0.12. Users are advised to upgrade to Terraform 0.12 or pin the version of the provider they use to avoid breaking changes. Those already using 0.12 can continue to work as usual, while pinned providers remain unchanged. If issues arise during deprecation, users should open an issue on their preferred provider repository for assistance.
