TERRAFORM AWS PROVIDER GAINS S3 TABLES AND OPENSEARCH FEDERATION SUPPORT
By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp · Composed from the cited sources · methodology
The AWS provider shipped three enhancement PRs overnight that expand infrastructure-as-code coverage for S3 Tables metadata properties and OpenSearch security configurations, while the docs team cleaned up deprecated tutorial collections and fixed formatting bugs across Vault and PKI documentation.
Terraform AWS provider landed support for Iceberg table properties in S3 Tables resources [1], exposing the `metadata.iceberg.properties` map that the underlying CreateTable API accepts but the provider previously didn't wire through. This lets engineers define write distribution modes and sort orders directly in HCL without workarounds. In parallel, the OpenSearch security config resource gained import support [2] and new federation blocks [3] for IAM federation and Identity Center options, closing gaps between what the AWS API supports and what Terraform can manage. On the docs side, the Vault Radar CLI commands shed their Beta branding [4] as the scan file and scan folder features stabilized, while the unified docs pipeline now emits build metrics to Instana alongside DataDog [5] for better visibility into the documentation build process. Dev Portal removed a broken deprecated collection from the tutorial landing [6], and the Consul team removed a gRPC check in the inbound listener implementation [7] with accompanying changelog and test fixes.
