May 2026 was focused on security, reliability, and maintainability across 25+ Terraform IBM modules, driven by broad dependency upgrades and a modernization of the testing framework. Key feature work included Infrastructure Dependency Upgrades and Resource Management Enhancements in terraform-ibm-app-configuration (Key Management, Event Notifications, and tests with added context), and Certificate Templates Management in terraform-ibm-secrets-manager-private-cert-engine (breaking change consolidating configurations into a certificate_templates map with a dependency upgrade to address a security vulnerability). Additional security and maintainability improvements were implemented via dependency upgrades and Terratest deprecation cleanups across Secrets Manager, Secrets Manager Public Cert Engine, and related modules. The testing framework was modernized across multiple repos by adopting context-aware Terratest patterns, refactoring tests, and migrating away from deprecated functions across the ecosystem. Terraform module dependency upgrades and deprecation of legacy Terratest functions were performed in landing-zone, vpc, cos, and numerous other modules, improving compatibility with newer Terraform tooling. Major bug fixes included addressing Trivy scan and Terraform validation errors in the Terraform COS module (trusted-profile) by upgrading to COS v10.16.0, and pipeline reliability improvements in observability-da along with broader Terratest migrations to reduce flaky tests. Overall impact includes a stronger security posture, more reliable CI and test feedback, and a smoother path to safe feature delivery. Technologies demonstrated include Terraform, Terratest, Go dependencies (go-git), context-aware testing, breaking changes management, and CI/CD hygiene.
