Building on the success of the Partner tag (originally introduced in our Terraform Partner Integration Program in 2022), we are excited to announce the launch of a new premier status on the Terraform Registry: the Partner Premier tag.
The creation of this new tier will ensure extended benefits for Terraform end users and customers: Partner Premier providers will support at least two of Terraform’s latest features, Terraform search and actions, in addition to previously released ephemeral resources. At HashiConf 2025, we announced Terraform search and actions as new features that have to be built directly into providers to offer preset operations that extend Terraform’s automation capabilities for common Day 2 tasks – bringing those previously external tasks into the Terraform pipeline.
To streamline the search process on the Registry, customers will be able to sort by the Partner Premier tag and they will see, at a glance, which providers offer Terraform search, ephemeral resource capabilities, or Terraform actions operations.
This new tier is designed to recognize and reward our technology partners who demonstrate the highest commitment to technical quality, security best practices, and adoption of imperative, cutting-edge Terraform provider features. This new status and tag will give customers the peace of mind that Partner Premier providers adhere to security best practices and have ongoing support while reinforcing transparency by making the provider’s internal components visible and verifiable.
»The new standard: Partner Premier requirements
To qualify for this new distinctive Partner Premier tag, technology partners must first meet all of the existing requirements for the original Partner tag. In addition, they must fulfill the following new set of advanced technical and feature criteria:
Category | Requirement |
|---|---|
Technical | Include a software bill of materials (SBOM) for the provider |
Feature | Implement at least one of the following advanced features: ephemeral resources as a security best practice, Terraform search, and/or Terraform actions |
By integrating these requirements, all Partner Premier qualified providers will offer end users enhanced security, deeper control, and/or the ability to codify imperative workflows outside of the standard Create, Read, Update, Destroy (CRUD) model.
»Partner Premier launch partners
As infrastructure as code (IaC) matures into the backbone of the modern enterprise, Day 0 provisioning is no longer enough. The Partner Premier tag distinguishes providers that have moved beyond basic resource creation to solve more complex challenges in security, lifecycle management, and sovereignty.
We are proud to launch this standard alongside industry leaders who are redefining the boundaries of Terraform:
Scaleway: Orchestrate the full lifecycle beyond CRUD, from server reboots and instance snapshots to database actions and VPN management.
Cisco: Automate configuration saves and commits in both Cisco IOS and NX-OS directly through Terraform Actions.
Palo Alto Networks: Eliminate clunky, manual configuration pushes and PanOS commits directly within your CI/CD pipeline.
MongoDB: Securely provision Atlas credentials in-memory ensuring privileged infrastructure credentials never persist in Terraform state.
Infoblox: Utilize Terraform Search to dynamically discover and consume existing IPAM and DNS records, bridging the gap between legacy network inventory and automated, IaC workflows.
Rubrik: Enable real-time discovery and automated protection of unmanaged data and backups.
Mittwald: Bring container-native agility to IaC with the ability to trigger recreates and restarts natively from Terraform.
Saviynt: Secure the bridge to identity governance (IGA) by eliminating credential shadowing for privileged connectors.
Outscale: Securely manage enterprise-class cloud resources with a provider dedicated to industrial-grade reliability and security.
1Password: Retrieve sensitive items and credentials for use in your infrastructure without ever persisting them in Terraform state.
Ionos Cloud: Ensure sovereignty-first automation of Ionos Cloud assets, built for the most rigorous European data privacy and compliance standards.
Sidero Labs: Achieve true end-to-end immutability for Kubernetes clusters by managing the underlying Talos OS through a declarative, state-free workflow.
These Partner Premier providers transform Terraform from a deployment tool into a comprehensive lifecycle engine, ensuring that every operational action is as secure, auditable, and automated as the initial build.
»Exclusive benefits for Premier Partners
Technology partners who achieve Partner Premier status unlock a new level of collaboration and support from HashiCorp, including:
Co-marketing support and opportunities, such as inclusion in quarterly highlight blogs
Technical support and resources
HashiCorp product roadmap sharing
Access to exclusive HashiCorp run provider development workshops
Exclusive design input into the future direction and evolution of the Terraform product line
»Maintaining the original partner tag
The existing Partner tag will continue to remain the essential foundation for quality and partnership for HashiCorp technology partners. Earning this tag requires verification by a HashiCorp Alliances Manager and adherence to our strict, modern development lifecycle:
»For Terraform providers:
Participation in the HashiCorp Technology Partner Program
Building or upgrading existing providers on Terraform’s most recent plugin framework
Requiring and passing Terraform plugin testing
Implementing testing that is created and run nightly as a GitHub action
A commitment to regularly updating the provider to fix issues and collaboratively engaging on joint customer escalations
»For Terraform modules:
Module quality is ensured through a varied set of standards focused on HashiCorp-defined, best-in-class infrastructure as code principles. This includes:
Successfully passing TFLink, Checkov, or another static code analysis tool and reporting the result to HashiCorp
Traditional unit and integration testing via Terraform test
Adherence to Terraform’s official naming conventions
Clear module documentation
Inclusion of all standard module files
For more information on these requirements, please visit the recently updated Terraform integration program page.
We at HashiCorp are excited to offer this new tier of partner tagging and benefits to our technology partner ecosystem.
We encourage all of our partners to review these requirements and begin their journey toward achieving Partner Premier status and providing this assurance that customers seek. We look forward to working with you to deliver the next generation of automated, secure, and feature-rich infrastructure to the Terraform community.
