TERRAFORM 1.16 ALPHA LANDS WITH EPHEMERAL DATA STORAGE AND NESTED BLOCK SUPPORT

By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp

Terraform's next major iteration ships with PlannedPrivate data persistence, a new store block for sensitive values, and import block support inside modules that fundamentally expand what providers can express.

Terraform v1.16.0-alpha20260701 [1] dropped overnight with four significant capability additions that close long-standing gaps in provider expressiveness. The new store block in terraform_data [1] gives providers a first-class way to handle ephemeral and sensitive values without treating them as persistent state, solving a coordination problem that's plagued complex deployments. PlannedPrivate data storage [1] lets providers maintain planned values across planning cycles, essential for accurate drift detection. Nested blocks as computed values [1] means providers can return structured data that was previously flattened, and import blocks now work inside modules [1], eliminating a major usability gap. Across the HashiCorp ecosystem, routine dependency bumps landed on terraform-provider-tfcoremock [4], terraform-equivalence-testing [5], and core terraform [2] as actions/setup-go moved from 6.4.0 to 6.5.0, while terraform-schema picked up new CodeDeploy attributes for failure_tolerance and eager_plan [3].
