TERRAFORM VAULT GETS EPHEMERAL TOKEN SUPPORT, NOMAD AUTOSCALER 0.5.0 SHIPS WITH INFLUXDB PLUGIN
By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp
Terraform provider for Vault now supports ephemeral token resources with type and entity_alias fields, while Nomad Autoscaler 0.5.0 introduces a new InfluxDB APM plugin for metrics collection.
The Terraform Vault provider landed a significant feature with ephemeral vault_token resource support [1], enabling more dynamic secret lifecycle management in infrastructure code. This complements the broader push to simplify token handling by removing complexity around accessor fields for batch tokens. Over in Nomad's ecosystem, Autoscaler 0.5.0 shipped with a new InfluxDB APM plugin [2] that supports both InfluxDB 1.x query API and InfluxQL queries, complete with JWT Bearer authentication via shared_secret configuration. The release represents a meaningful expansion of APM options for autoscaling workflows. On the tooling front, VS Code Terraform extension bumped @hashicorp/js-releases [3] to patch dependency updates, while Nomad Autoscaler's dependency chain saw the expected Google API client bump to 0.279.0 [6]. Nightly builds continue rolling for both the Podman driver [4] and Autoscaler [5], offering early-access testing for development features.
