The Terraform Cloud Operator for Kubernetes has been updated with new features that enhance workspace management and self-service capabilities. Users can now specify a project when creating a workspace, allowing them to independently manage workspaces and execute runs within their assigned project. This feature is part of the general availability of version 2.2 of the operator, which also includes improvements to project creation and team access management. Additionally, HashiCorp Terraform has released new features, including mocking capabilities for the test framework and a config-driven state removal workflow. These updates aim to improve the efficiency and consistency of infrastructure management, while providing more flexibility and control for users.
