The Future of Terraform - Announcements from HashiConf 2025

HashiConf 2025 just dropped MAJOR Terraform updates — from the next generation of workflows to new ways to construct your configurations. In this live-from-San-Francisco episode, I got to sit down with Omar Ismail, Director of Product for Terraform and Policy Workflows at HashiCorp, to unpack the biggest Terraform announcements from HashiConf 2025. The conversation explores the GA release of Terraform Stacks, the beta rollouts of Terraform Actions and Terraform Search, and what these new features mean for infrastructure engineers, platform teams, and large-scale cloud environments. You’ll learn how Terraform is evolving to support Day 2 operations, intelligent resource discovery and import, and even multi-thousand-account landing zones — all while laying the groundwork for Terraform 2.0. If you're building at scale or just want to understand where Terraform is headed, this episode is essential viewing. Have feedback?
