OpenTofu 1.11.0

We're proud to announce that OpenTofu 1.11.0 is now officially available! 🎉

Highlights

This release cycle introduces major new capabilities and integrations:

Ephemeral Values and Write Only Attributes

Ephemeral resources allow you to work with confidential data, temporary credentials, and transient infrastructure without persisting them to your state.

ephemeral "aws_secretsmanager_random_password" "password" {

}

resource "kubernetes_secret_v1" "credentials" {
  metadata {
    name = "admin"
    namespace = "my-app"
  }
  data_wo = {
    username = "admin"
    password = ephemeral.aws_secretsmanager_random_password.password.random_password
  }

  data_wo_revision = 1
  type = "kubernetes.io/basic-auth"
}

The enabled Meta-Argument

If you want to conditionally deploy a resource, you no longer have to use count = var.create_my_resource ? 1 : 0, you can now add the new enabled meta-argument to your resource to conditionally deploy it.

resource "aws_instance" "web" {
  ami           = "ami-12345"
  instance_type = "t3.micro"

  lifecycle {
    enabled = var.create_instance  # Simple boolean condition
  }
}

Compatibility Notes

• macOS: Requires macOS 12 Monterey or later

• Azure Backend (azurerm):

  • The endpoint and ARM_ENDPOINT configuration options are no longer supported
  • The msi_endpoint and ARM_MSI_ENDPOINT options are no longer supported
  • The environment and metadata_host arguments are now mutually exclusive

• issensitive() Function: Now correctly returns unknown results when evaluating unknown values. Code that previously relied on the incorrect behavior may need updates.

• Testing with Mocks: Mock values generated during testing now strictly adhere to provider schemas. Test configurations with invalid mock values will need to be corrected.

• S3 Module Installation: When installing module packages from Amazon S3 buckets using S3 source addresses OpenTofu will use the same credentials as the AWS CLI and SDK.

• TLS and SSH Security:

  • SHA-1 signatures are no longer accepted for TLS or SSH connections
  • SSH certificates must comply with the draft-miller-ssh-cert-03 specification
