It's been a long while since we gave close attention to the codepaths for module source address parsing and external module package installation. Due to their age, these codepaths often diverged from our modern practices such as representing address types in the addrs package, and encapsulating package installation details only in a particular location. In particular, this refactor makes source address parsing a separate step from module installation, which therefore makes the result of that parsing available to other Terraform subsystems which work with the configuration representation objects. This also presented the opportunity to better encapsulate our use of go-getter into a new package "getmodules" (echoing "getproviders"), which is intended to be the only part of Terraform that directly interacts with go-getter. This is largely just a refactor of the existing functionality into a new code organization, but there is one notable change in behavior here: the source address parsing now happens during configuration loading rather than module installation, which may cause errors about invalid addresses to be returned in different situations than before. That counts as backward compatible because we only promise to remain compatible with configurations that are _valid_, which means that they can be initialized, planned, and applied without any errors. This doesn't introduce any new error cases, and instead just makes a pre-existing error case be detected earlier. Our module registry client is still using its own special module address type from registry/regsrc for now, with a small shim from the new addrs.ModuleSourceRegistry type. Hopefully in a later commit we'll also rework the registry client to work with the new address type, but this commit is already big enough as it is. |

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
The key features of Terraform are:
-
Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.
-
Execution Plans: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.
-
Resource Graph: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.
-
Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.
For more information, see the introduction section of the Terraform website.
Getting Started & Documentation
Documentation is available on the Terraform website:
If you're new to Terraform and want to get started creating infrastructure, please check out our Getting Started guides on HashiCorp's learning platform. There are also additional guides to continue your learning.
Show off your Terraform knowledge by passing a certification exam. Visit the certification page for information about exams and find study materials on HashiCorp's learning platform.
Developing Terraform
This repository contains only Terraform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins, and Terraform can automatically download providers that are published on the Terraform Registry. HashiCorp develops some providers, and others are developed by other organizations. For more information, see Extending Terraform.
