ROADMAP.md

Roadmap: May 2022 - July 2022

Every few months, the team will highlight areas of focus for our work and upcoming research.

We select items for inclusion in the roadmap from the Top Community Issues, Core Services, and internal priorities. Where community sourced contributions exist we will work with the authors to review and merge their work. Where this does not exist or the original contributors are not available we will create the resources and implementation ourselves.

Each weekly release will include necessary tasks that lead to the completion of the stated goals as well as community pull requests, enhancements, and features that are not highlighted in the roadmap. To view all the items we've prioritized for this quarter, please see the Roadmap milestone.

This roadmap does not describe all the work that will be included within this timeframe, but it does describe our focus. We will include other work as events occur.

In the period spanning February to April 2022, 912 Pull Requests were opened in the provider and 839 were closed/merged, adding support for:

• Amazon OpenSearch
• AWS Cost Categories
• AWS AppFlow
• Amazon Managed Grafana
• Amazon Global Networks
• Lambda Function URLs

From May ‘22 - July ‘22, we will be prioritizing the following areas of work:

Research Topics

Research topics include features, architectural changes, and ideas that we are pursuing in the longer term that may significantly impact the core user experience of the AWS provider. Research topics are discovery only and are not guaranteed to be included in a future release.

Mux with Plugin Framework

Pull Request: #23948

Prototyping the ability to combine resources and data sources implemented in either Terraform Plugin SDK v2 or Terraform Plugin Framework using terraform-plugin-mux.

AWS Cloud Control Community Documentation

Issue: #469

Currently the awscc provider documentation that lives on the registry is generated from the CloudFormation Cloud Control API schema. This means that we are limited to attribute level and resource level descriptions that are quite terse. The aws Provider has rich, contributor drafted documentation which includes examples, notes, and guides that make for a much more positive user experience.

While resource behavior in awscc should remain wholly generated, we would like to enable contributors to append information to the generated documentation in order to foster an improved experience more inline with what Terraform practitioners are used to.
