Terraform 0.7 released

Shameless plug: we use terraform a lot within DigitalOcean and I made a resource provider for our recent release of block storage. It&#x27;s part of this release[1]! (I&#x27;m happy, sorry!)<p>By the way, contributing to the project was very straightforward and the participants involved are super nice. I recommend you send them a patch if you have an itch!<p>[1]: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.terraform.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;providers&#x2F;do&#x2F;r&#x2F;volume.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.terraform.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;providers&#x2F;do&#x2F;r&#x2F;volume.html</a>

For others like me, who don&#x27;t know Terraform:<p>&quot;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.&quot;<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.terraform.io&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.terraform.io&#x2F;</a>

What are people&#x27;s thoughts on Cloudformation vs Terraform for a project that only ever expects to use AWS?

I&#x27;m the most excited about the _List and Map Types_. It was a huge pain to concatenate strings in arrays to move them and then parse them again.

Does anyone that has used Terraform have any major complaints about it, or conversely any specific praises for something it does well compared to other tools in that space?

This release is the first one with built-in support for Scaleway as a provider: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;terraform.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;providers&#x2F;scaleway&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;terraform.io&#x2F;docs&#x2F;providers&#x2F;scaleway&#x2F;</a>

Can&#x27;t praise Terraform enough. Just so well designed and a prevents you from ripping your hair out. Great team as well.

Terraform seems like a great project, and the new import feature could nearly convince me to switch. My biggest barrier to using it is the lack of cross-account role support with AWS[0].<p>[0] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aws&#x2F;aws-sdk-go&#x2F;issues&#x2F;472" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;aws&#x2F;aws-sdk-go&#x2F;issues&#x2F;472</a>

Terraform looks really nice although it seems it would be of limited use to me as most of my servers are physical. I do have a some VMs running on VMware, however. Anyone know what versions of vSphere are supported (I see it&#x27;s been tested with 5.5 and 6.0, but I think we&#x27;ve still got a few older ones out there)?

Do I need AWS to use this tool? The company I work for operates its own data center.

This is a great release, have been using Terraform for the last year, a life-saver for us.<p>Kudos to the TF team&#x2F;community and Mitchell
