Summary

Terraform's dynamic provider credentials offer secure, short-lived authentication for HashiCorp Vault and cloud providers, eliminating the need to manage long-lived static credentials and reducing security risks. This new authentication model simplifies processes, reduces risk, and provides more granular permissions control, allowing users to scope privileges down to specific Terraform operations based on the run phase, workspace, project, or organization. To get started with dynamic provider credentials, users can check out the documentation and tutorials, and sign up for a free Terraform Cloud account to begin provisioning and managing their infrastructure in any environment.
