Which Terraform versions support Actions?

Actions are supported in Terraform 1.14.0 and later. Currently, they support before/after create and update events, but not destroy events.

How does this skill handle long-running operations?

It provides implementation patterns for using the Progress and Invoke methods, including context-aware timeout management and status polling with wait functions.

What are Terraform Provider Actions?

Actions are experimental features that allow providers to execute imperative operations at specific lifecycle events, such as before or after a resource is created or updated.

Does this skill support the older Plugin SDKv2?

No, this skill specifically focuses on implementing Actions using the modern Terraform Plugin Framework, which is required for this functionality.
