Summary

The HashiCorp Terraform Strategic Integrations team has improved the wait_for configurations on several resources, introducing an entirely new generic waiter. This allows users to specify whether Terraform should wait for a specific condition or not before continuing to apply their configuration or complete successfully. The new generic wait_for attribute gives users more control over wait conditions and is available on all Kubernetes resources. It instructs the Terraform provider to wait on a condition based on any attribute of a Kubernetes object, allowing users to specify multiple conditions that must be met simultaneously. Additionally, the Kubernetes-alpha provider introduces a new kubernetes_manifest resource and a generic wait_for attribute that supports regular expressions in conditions. This provides more flexibility and control over wait conditions, enabling users to wait for specific attributes or values within their Kubernetes resources.
