Terraform 1.0 — now generally available — marks a major milestone for interoperability, ease of upgrades, and maintenance for your automation workflows.

Today at HashiConf Europe, we are pleased to announce the general availability of HashiCorp Terraform 1.0, a major milestone for interoperability, ease of upgrades, and maintenance for your automation workflows. Terraform 1.0 is immediately available for download as well as for use in HashiCorp Terraform Cloud. HashiCorp Terraform is already widely used by individuals and teams in companies large and small as the standard for multi-cloud provisioning and automation. This post takes a look at what’s new, and what the 1.0 designation means for Terraform users.

Terraform has made tremendous strides around interoperability. Terraform state is now cross-compatible between versions 0.14.x, 0.15.x, and 1.0.x. Remote state data source compatibility is now backported to support versions 0.12.30, 0.13.6, 0.14.0, 0.15.0, and 1.0.x. These improvements add flexibility to workflows as you move between versions of Terraform. Visit our Learn platform for hands-on tutorials about versioning Terraform and Terraform Cloud workspaces.

Starting with Terraform 0.15 and continuing through the lifecycle of 1.x, you can now upgrade to a new Terraform version and your workflows will continue to be operational, just as they were in those prior versions. There is no requirement for upgrade tools, refactoring, or other changes in order to use Terraform 1.x.
