Summary

The Terraform AWS provider has surpassed 4 billion downloads, with version 6.0 now available in public beta. This release introduces enhanced multi-region support, allowing users to define and manage AWS resources across multiple regions within a single configuration file. The new feature simplifies configuration efforts by leveraging an injected `region` attribute at the resource level, reducing memory usage overall. Users can opt-in to the pre-release version by specifying the beta version in their provider requirements, and are advised to consult the upgrade guide and documentation for breaking changes and examples.
