TERRAFORM AZURE PROVIDER CLEARS 5.0 DEPRECATION GATES
By RepoJournal · Filed · About HashiCorp
Terraform's Azure provider is ripping out feature flag gates across postgres and storage resources, a sign the 5.0 migration is hitting its stride.
The Azure provider team just removed the 5.0 feature flag gates from postgres [1] and storage [2] resources in back-to-back merges, clearing deprecated code paths that were scheduled for removal this release cycle. This is cleanup work that signals the provider is moving forward on the upgrade timeline it committed to. The removal of these gates means postgres and storage resources will no longer maintain backwards compatibility shims, so anyone still running old configurations will hit breaking changes on next upgrade [3] [4]. A separate test fix landed for the BotWebApp acceptance test suite [5], keeping the test harness in sync as the provider tightens. On the scheduler side, Nomad Pack published its nightly snapshot [6], a development build for teams testing against the latest code before stable release. For Azure users on older provider versions: this is the moment to audit your postgres and storage resource configs and upgrade Terraform before the next release drops.
