April 2025 monthly summary for yugabyte/terraform-provider-ybm. Focused on stabilizing cluster networking by fixing a critical bug that affected Private Service Endpoints (PSE) during cluster updates. Implemented an enhancement to the update path by updating createClusterSpec to fetch current cluster details and populate PSE information, ensuring that existing networking configurations are preserved through updates. The change is tracked under commit ef6cf2afe3c70a175e395adf15bbb70a354af919 with the message "Fix cluster edit when PSE is used (#167)."

Month: 2024-12 — Focused on stabilizing release automation and enabling disaster recovery configuration via Terraform for yugabyte/terraform-provider-ybm. Delivered a strict stable-release gating mechanism to publish only exact-version vX.Y.Z tags, preventing publishing of pre-releases; introduced CRUD for disaster recovery configurations via a new ybm_dr_config resource, with feature flags and updated dependencies and data structures. These changes improve release reliability, enable IaC-driven DR workflows, and reduce risk for customers.
