Feb 1, 2026February 2026: Delivered a safety-focused enhancement to oracle/terraform-provider-oci by introducing an environment variable, TF_PRESERVE_STATE_ON_404, to preserve the Terraform state when a 404 Not Found/Not Authorized occurs during CRUD operations. This prevents inadvertent resource deletions and keeps the Terraform state in sync with real infrastructure. The change reduces risk for users who encounter partial permissions or edge-case API responses, and aligns provider behavior with security expectations. Implemented via commit dfa00958d988978ab462cdaa9a47f4e2fdf051f0, addressing related tickets TER-8748, TER-8666, TOP-9162.

May 1, 2025May 2025 – Oracle Terraform Provider OCI: Focused on reliability under API rate limits and on performance for resource discovery. Delivered two major features: (1) Robust HTTP retry with Retry-After support (429/503) including max attempts (default 10) and refined backoff; (2) Increased resource discovery parallelism by setting MaxParallelChunks to 4 × CPU count, speeding up state generation/export. No critical bugs fixed this month. Business value: reduces provisioning time, increases throughput, and improves resilience to OCI API rate limiting. Technologies demonstrated: Go concurrency, HTTP header parsing for Retry-After, parallel processing, Terraform provider development, performance optimization.
