Improvement5.8.4

Terraform v5.8.4 now available

Cloudflare released Terraform Provider v5.8.4 with stabilization of high-traffic resources including bot management, load balancing, and Zero Trust access. The update addresses community-reported issues through improved test-driven development and bug fixes, though migration from v4 to v5 is still being refined.

Earlier this year, we announced the launch of the new Terraform v5 Provider. We are aware of the high number of issues ↗ reported by the Cloudflare Community related to the v5 release. We have committed to releasing improvements on a two week cadence to ensure stability and reliability.

One key change we adopted in recent weeks is a pivot to more comprehensive, test-driven development. We are still evaluating individual issues, but are also investing in much deeper testing to drive our stabilization efforts. We will subsequently be investing in comprehensive migration scripts. As a result, you will see several of the highest traffic APIs have been stabilized in the most recent release, and are supported by comprehensive acceptance tests.

Thank you for continuing to raise issues. We triage them weekly and they help make our products stronger.

Issues Closed

If you have an unaddressed issue with the provider, we encourage you to check the open issues ↗ and open a new one if one does not already exist for what you are experiencing.

Upgrading

We suggest holding off on migration to v5 while we work on stabilization. This will help you avoid any blocking issues while the Terraform resources are actively being stabilized.

If you'd like more information on migrating to v5, please make use of the migration guide ↗. We have provided automated migration scripts using Grit which simplify the transition. These migration scripts do not support implementations which use Terraform modules, so customers making use of modules need to migrate manually. Please make use of terraform plan to test your changes before applying, and let us know if you encounter any additional issues by reporting to our GitHub repository ↗.
