HashiCorp has announced that its Terraform Cloud run tasks feature is now available in beta access, allowing organizations to integrate third-party tools into specific points during the Terraform Cloud workflow. This feature was previewed earlier this year and is now open to all existing Business tier customers. Run tasks enable integration with external systems for security checks, cost estimation, code scanning, and other purposes, receiving a passed or failed response back to Terraform Cloud based on the task's enforcement setting. Several technology partners have pre-built integrations available, including Bridgecrew, cloudtamer.io, Infracost, Lightlytics, Refactr, and Snyk. The feature is open for anyone to develop against without formal approval, with documentation available for building custom integrations. Terraform Cloud remains free to try, and organizations can upgrade to the Business tier at any time.
