Summary
HashiCorp has released Terraform 1.1, a version that offers easier and safer refactoring with "moved" statements, which allow users to plan, preview, and validate multiple refactoring actions simultaneously within a module's source code. This new mechanism enables users to refactor Terraform modules and configurations more safely and easily, without requiring them to touch state. Additionally, the release introduces an improved CLI experience for Terraform Cloud and Enterprise, with enhanced error messages, better prompts, and clarification of remote state storage versus remote operations. The new integration also allows users to manage workspaces via workspace tags, providing a better developer experience.
