Terraform Stacks is here!
summary
Terraform announces Stacks as GA for orchestrating multi-component systems (not just workspaces) with coordinated deployment groups, deferred changes that let plans pause and resume when values become known, and link stacks for passing outputs like VPC IDs. It uses a VCS-driven workflow (GitHub/GitLab/Azure DevOps/Bitbucket or self-hosted agents) and a unified CLI for local testing. Terraform Search is public beta with TFquery.accl for discovery, and there are 350+ Sentinel policies for AWS governance.
