provider-actions

You can trigger imperative operations during a Terraform resource lifecycle by implementing provider actions. These actions execute deterministic operations before or after resource create, update, and destroy events using the Terraform Plugin Framework.

Terraform provider actions are used to execute imperative operations during resource lifecycle events. They provide a structured way to handle before and after hooks for resource creation, updates, and destruction, enabling safer provider behavior.

Yes, the Terraform Plugin Framework supports schema-driven validation for lifecycle hooks. You can define actions with a configurable schema to validate resource creation, execute post-create data enrichment, and manage controlled updates.

You handle errors and timeouts in custom Terraform provider lifecycle actions by using the built-in robust error mapping, progress reporting, and timeout management features. This ensures safer provider behavior during imperative lifecycle operations.

Yes, you can run validation logic before destroying a Terraform resource by configuring a provider action. This executes an imperative operation during the before destroy lifecycle hook using a schema-driven action definition.
