LaunchDarkly Terraform provider v3 is now generally available. This release is a major rebuild on the newer Terraform Plugin Framework, replacing the older v2 SDK foundation and setting the provider up to support new LaunchDarkly capabilities more quickly.

With v3, teams can manage more of their LaunchDarkly configuration in Terraform, including eight new resources: Context Kinds, Release Policies, Metric Groups, Announcements, Big Segment Stores, OAuth Clients, Integration Delivery, and Flag Import.

This release also improves plan-time validation, helping teams catch some configuration issues earlier in the workflow instead of discovering them only at apply time.

For customers using approval workflows and role mappings, v3 adds support for segment approval settings on environments and scoped role attributes on team role mappings.

Because v3 includes breaking syntax changes, existing v2 configurations will need updates before they plan cleanly against v3. To help with that transition, v3 includes a migrate-tf-syntax command to rewrite Terraform configuration from v2 syntax to v3 syntax, and provider state upgrades are handled automatically on first apply without requiring destroy-and-recreate workflows.

Why it matters

• Faster access to new LaunchDarkly resources in Terraform
• Better validation before apply
• Broader support for approvals, role mapping, and newer platform capabilities
