Terraform 1 12

Terraform 1.12

This overview applies when the project's target Terraform version is at least 1.12.

Expressions

• Logical && and || operators can short-circuit. An unevaluated operand cannot produce errors or side effects from functions.

Import and identity

• An import block can identify a remote object with identity instead of id when the provider exposes a structured identity schema. The two arguments are mutually exclusive.
• An import block's for_each expression cannot depend on the resource it imports.

Testing

• terraform test -parallelism=n controls concurrent provider operations within a run's plan or apply.
• Test run blocks can opt into parallel execution when their state dependencies allow it.
• Failed assertions produce structured diagnostic objects for machine-readable output.
• A missing expected failure no longer prevents subsequent test runs from executing.

Backends and compatibility

• The OCI Object Storage backend is available for remote state.
• Terraform 1.12 requires Linux kernel 3.2 or later.
