Terraform Plugin Framework

terraform-plugin-framework is a module for building Terraform providers. It is built on terraform-plugin-go. It aims to provide as much of the power, predictability, and versatility of terraform-plugin-go as it can while abstracting away implementation details and repetitive, verbose tasks.

• Try the Terraform Plugin Framework collection on HashiCorp Learn.
• Clone the terraform-provider-scaffolding-framework template repository on GitHub for new providers.
• Follow the Terraform Plugin Framework migration guide for converting existing terraform-plugin-sdk providers.
• Read the Terraform Plugin Framework website for full documentation.
• Browse the terraform-plugin-framework module on the Go package documentation website.
• Ask questions in the Terraform Plugin Development section on HashiCorp Discuss.
