HashiCorp announced the general availability of Terraform provider for Google Cloud 8.0. The Terraform provider for Google Cloud, a component that connects Terraform configurations to Google Cloud, helps teams manage Google Cloud infrastructure as code.
Version 8.0 updates several provider defaults. It also removes resources and properties tied to retired or replaced Google Cloud services and improves schema behavior to make Terraform plans more predictable.
During the 7.x cycle, the provider gained the list resources feature for read-only discovery of existing infrastructure. Used with the terraform query workflow, list resources can find Google Cloud resources outside Terraform state and optionally generate configuration for resources and their imports.
