    Summary of Cloud Provisioning and Governance: Terraform Connector release notes

    The Cloud Provisioning and Governance: Terraform Connector integrates Terraform provisioning capabilities directly into ServiceNow, enabling customers to manage infrastructure as code (IaC) for multiple cloud platforms through the ServiceNow interface. This connector supports Terraform Enterprise, Terraform Cloud, and open-source Terraform, facilitating streamlined provisioning, governance, and version control integration.

    Key Features

    • Multi-cloud provisioning: Supports AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), VMware vSphere, and previously IBM Cloud (removed in later versions).
    • Version control integration: Supports GitHub, GitLab, and Azure DevOps repositories for sourcing Terraform modules and configurations.
    • Terraform version support: Compatible with Terraform Open Source versions 0.11, 0.12, and up to versions 1.1 and 1.2, including Terraform Enterprise and Cloud editions.
    • Improved security and governance: Introduction of granular, feature-specific admin roles replacing broad admin access, and enhanced access controls via predefined query ACLs and deny-unless ACLs for data protection.
    • PowerShell integration: End-to-end support for PowerShell operations on MID Servers and Windows remote machines with automatic version detection (defaulting to PowerShell 7) to ensure consistent script execution.
    • Catalog and workflow enhancements: Support for Change Governance workflows to manage cloud catalog items when IaC artifacts change, and ability to use existing Terraform workspaces when ordering catalog items.
    • Support for complex Terraform variables and multi-repository setups: Enables advanced configuration scenarios and modular Terraform code management.
    • Security improvements: Read-Only Field Remediation to prevent unauthorized client-side updates of read-only fields, mitigating security risks.
    • Code signing and plugin support: Supports hosted plugins with code signing to ensure trusted provisioning components.

    Key Outcomes

    • Enhanced security posture: By limiting admin privileges and enforcing strict access controls, customers can better protect provisioning workflows and sensitive configuration data.
    • Broader cloud platform coverage: Customers can provision resources across multiple major cloud providers using Terraform within ServiceNow, simplifying multi-cloud management.
    • Improved operational consistency: PowerShell version detection and workflow enhancements reduce errors and streamline automation tasks.
    • Better governance and compliance: Integration with Change Governance workflows and catalog item management helps maintain compliance and control over infrastructure changes.
    • Flexible and scalable IaC management: Multi-repository and complex variable support enable customers to adopt sophisticated Terraform configurations suited to their organizational needs.

    Version history

    Version 1.10.0 - June 2026
    Fixed: Manage access through predefined query access controls for all Cloud Services Catalog tables
    Version 1.9.1 - December 2025
    • New: Introduced granular, feature-specific admin roles to replace the broad 'admin' role, significantly enhancing security by minimizing excess access. These new roles are seamlessly integrated into the standard administrative experience.
    • Changed: Enabled end-to-end support for PowerShell operations across MID Servers and Windows remote machines. The system now automatically detects and selects the most appropriate PowerShell version, defaulting to PowerShell 7 where available, to ensure more consistent and reliable execution of scripts.
    • Fixed: Implemented Read-Only Field Remediation by introducing a new ChoiceList, 'read_only_option,' to replace the previous 'read_only' field (which was prone to unauthorized client-side updates). This change prevents client-side manipulation of read-only fields and significantly mitigates security risks across all applications.
    Version 1.7.3 - November 2024
    • Changed: Filter and restrict data access at the query level with Deny-Unless ACLs and Query ACL rules is now supported
    • Fixed: Hosted plugins are now supported by Code Signing
    Version 1.6.2 - May 2024
    • New:
      • GCP support in Terraform Connector App
      • Multi-repo support in the Terraform Connector App
    Version 1.5.2 - September 2022
    • New: Support for complex variables
    • Changed:
      • Added support for Terraform v1.1, v1.2
