TERRAFORM AWS PROVIDER GETS SMARTER LIST OPERATIONS, PACKER AZURE FIXES DATA DISK COLLISIONS

By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp

The Terraform AWS provider is shedding redundant Read calls from List operations, while Packer Azure solves a long-standing limitation around mixed data disk deployments.

Two critical fixes landed across the Terraform AWS provider that clean up inefficient patterns in resource listing. Route53 Resolver rule associations [2] and S3 bucket ACLs [3] both had unnecessary Read functions stripped from their List implementations, reducing API calls and improving performance. These changes follow the same pattern and represent a broader effort to optimize how the provider handles bulk resource operations. Meanwhile, Packer's Azure plugin finally ships support for building images that mix source data disks with additional empty data disks [1]. The new disk_additional_luns parameter lets users assign explicit LUNs to avoid collisions, solving a deployment blocker that has forced users to choose between source disks or additional disks. On the dependency front, the Terraform AWS provider pulled in the latest aws-sdk-go-v2 updates [4], and Packer Azure bumped to the latest plugin SDK [5]. Documentation work continues across the org: Oracle database secrets engine docs are now marked enterprise-only [6], and Terraform policy documentation is being expanded with Tencent Cloud dynamic credentials guidance [7].
