Month: 2026-03 | Overview: Focused on expanding Proxmox Terraform provider capabilities, strengthening governance around resource naming, and boosting stability across resources, tests, and CI. The month delivered new data sources and resources, introduced ADR-driven naming conventions with broad short-name aliases, and improved documentation and test automation to support faster, safer IaC adoption. Key features delivered: - Proxmox data source and resources: added proxmox_files data source; added proxmox_backup_job resource and proxmox_backup_jobs data source, enabling more complete backup/config workflows with IaC. - ADR-007 naming and short-name aliases: implemented ADR-007 and introduced short-name aliases for resources across modules (access, acme, ha, provider hardware mapping, sdn, cluster, node, storage, VM, version, pool), simplifying migrations and Terraform configurations. - Documentation and onboarding improvements: cleanup of readme, shields, prerequisites, removal of TOC, and clarifications to examples to reduce onboarding friction. - Misc governance and tooling enhancements: ADRs and reference docs updates, LLM skill improvements, and precursor work for improved PR preparation and code-review automation. Major bugs fixed: - VM/resource stability: add started attribute to cloned_vm; enable removal of network devices; switch to dynamic unmarshalling for network/IP config; deprecate enabled on network_device to reduce config drift. - LXC/API correctness: fix ignore-unpack-errors mapping in LXC create API; ignore warnings during container create/clone tasks. - ACME/provider reliability: preserve null tos in ACME account responses when API returns empty string; fix CI HARule validation and repository reference issues. - VM lifecycle resilience: reboot after non-hotpluggable disk resize; skip unnecessary cloud-init updates; mark disk size as computed to prevent passthrough drift. - Stability and test hygiene: disk-resize fix, safer test id generation, and broader test stability improvements. Overall impact and accomplishments: - Expanded Terraform provider capabilities while improving safety and consistency, reducing toil with ADR-driven naming, and delivering more reliable VM/LXC behavior. Documentation and tests are now more maintainable, enabling faster iteration for new features. Technologies/skills demonstrated: - Go-based Terraform provider development, resource/data source design, and API integration; dynamic config unmarshalling; governance through ADRs (ADR-007); short-name alias strategy; CI/CD stabilization; documentation and test automation; and LLM-assisted tooling for development and reviews.
