Martin Atkins	e0d72930fa	website: Warn against using provisioners For a long time now we've been advising against the use of provisioners, but our documentation for them is pretty prominent on the website in comparision to the better alternatives, and so it's little surprise that many users end up making significant use of them. Although in the longer term a change to our information architecture would probably address this even better, this is an attempt to be explicit about the downsides of using provisioners and to prominently describe the alternatives that are available for common use-cases, along with some reasons why we consider them to be better. I took the unusual step here of directly linking to specific provider documentation pages about the alternatives, even though we normally try to keep the core documentation provider-agnostic, because otherwise that information tends to be rather buried in the provider documentation and thus the reader would be reasonable to use provisioners just because we're not giving specific enough alternative recommendations.	7 years ago

Martin Atkins	6a4498ba76	provisioner/salt-masterless: add "_file" suffix to "minion_config" In #15870 we got good feedback that it'd be more useful to have the various filename-accepting arguments on this provisioner instead accept strings that represent the contents of such files, so that they can be generated from elsewhere in the Terraform config. This change does not achieve that, but it does make room for doing this later by renaming "minion_config" to "minion_config_file" so that we can later add a "minion_config" option alongside that takes the file content, and deprecate "minion_config_file". Ideally we'd just implement the requested change immediately, but unfortunately the release schedule doesn't have time for this so this is a pragmatic change to allow us to make the full requested change at a later date without backward incompatibilities. This change is safe because the salt-masterless provisioner has not yet been included in a release at the time of this commit.	9 years ago
