For Terraform specifically, not receiving updates is not an option. Within 6 months or so, you will stop receiving support for new, and some existing features of the big three cloud providers.
- devonbleak 3y agoThe providers are what implements the actual interaction/features with the cloud providers, and those licenses have not changed - it's just terraform core at this point. So really you have until HashiCorp changes the interface between TF core and the providers, which would mean something like a Terraform v2.0.
- freedomben 3y agoThis is an important point. The bulk of what matters isn't changing licenses. I wish this Terraform change hadn't happened, but in the scope of everything I don't think it matters to the vast majority of people. Unless you're building your product on top of Terraform, it doesn't make a big difference.
- lijok 3y agoI overstated the timeline. The providers have minimum required Terraform versions, but I just checked the latest version of the AWS provider and it requires at least Terraform 0.13, which is over two years old now.
