Summary

Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise now offer new options to provide more explicit control over when resource state is refreshed and when resources need to be replaced, allowing customers to reduce the time it takes to make changes to their infrastructure. The new -refresh=false plan option enables teams to execute plans without a preemptive state refresh, while the -refresh-only plan mode allows for updating the state at a more convenient schedule. Additionally, the -replace planning option provides an improved way to replace degraded resources as a single atomic operation within a Terraform plan, avoiding potential race conditions in collaborative environments. These features are now available in both Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise, enabling customers to streamline their infrastructure management workflows.
