Terraform releases page experiencing errors
HashiCorp reported that the Terraform releases page was experiencing errors on February 20, 2025, and after investigating, they identified the issue and implemented a fix, resolving the incident.
Background
- HashiCorp is the company behind Terraform, a widely used Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tool that lets teams define and provision cloud infrastructure (servers, networks, etc.) using declarative configuration files.
- The Terraform releases page is where users find new versions, release notes, and changelogs. It is also the source that the `terraform version` command and other update-checking tools hit to see if a newer release is available.
- This incident status page is hosted on HashiCorp's own status.hashicorp.com domain, which is the official place to track availability of HashiCorp services (Terraform Cloud, Vault, Consul, etc.).
- A "releases page experiencing errors" means users may not see new release announcements, cannot download new versions from that page, or may get errors when running update checks. It does not necessarily mean Terraform's core functionality (running plans/applies) is broken.
