Nov 1, 2024November 2024 focused on elevating automation reliability and governance for the Databricks Terraform provider. Key gains include exporter enhancements for granular exports (regex-based filtering and directory-name traversal filtering) and downstream automation support (listing users and service principals with a comma-separated output). Added optional skip Read after Create/Update to reduce API calls and improve plan/apply performance, and introduced a new data source databricks_registered_model_versions to surface all versions of a registered model in Unity Catalog for governance and auditing. Security and reliability improvements across data sources and indexing were delivered, including Run-as mode validation for databricks_query, guaranteed population of cluster_name in the databricks_cluster data source, RAW import handling for workspace files, and more robust readiness checks for the databricks_vector_search_index. Dependency updates to Terraform Plugin Framework and Databricks SDK were implemented to leverage latest features and security patches, with CI safeguards for Go SDK updates.
