Summary

HashiCorp is introducing a tech preview of its Terraform provider code generation tool, which automates the process of generating Terraform provider code from OpenAPI specifications. This solution aims to reduce maintenance burden and create consistency in codebases by providing a scalable ecosystem that can be extended by the existing provider developer community. The tool offers three general-purpose solutions for bootstrapping the ecosystem, allowing developers to generate provider code using either OpenAPI or alternative IDLs such as Protobuf. The tech preview is currently available for testing, and HashiCorp invites users to share their feedback and suggestions via the Terraform discussion forum.
