Requires a Terraform Cloud account to reproduce the remote failure, though local execution works with standard Terraform installed.

in plain english

This repository is a minimal test case demonstrating a networking problem with Terraform Cloud. Specifically, it highlights that when code runs on the Terraform Cloud platform, it cannot connect to websites or services that use IPv6, the newer version of the internet's addressing system. Terraform is a tool for managing cloud infrastructure, and it can run either on your own computer or on a hosted cloud platform. The project contains a simple setup that asks Terraform to fetch a basic web page. When the exact same code is run locally on a personal computer, it successfully retrieves the page and displays a "Hello World!" message. However, when that identical code runs on the remote Terraform Cloud platform, it fails and produces a connection error. The output shows the platform trying to reach an IPv6-only web address and reporting that the network is unreachable. This happens because the cloud environment where the code executes does not currently have IPv6 networking enabled, so it simply cannot talk to any server that lacks an older, traditional IPv4 address. The audience for this project is developers or teams using Terraform Cloud who are trying to diagnose why their infrastructure code suddenly fails to reach certain external services. By providing a straightforward, repeatable example of the failure, it serves as clear proof of the platform's limitation. Anyone whose automation depends on communicating with modern, IPv6-only resources would use this to confirm they are hitting a known restriction rather than a bug in their own code.

prompts (copy fr)

prompt 1
Run this Terraform configuration locally and confirm it successfully fetches the Hello World page, then run the same code on Terraform Cloud to reproduce the IPv6 connection failure.
prompt 2
Use this repository as a minimal test case to verify that Terraform Cloud cannot reach IPv6-only services, and document the exact error message for your team.
prompt 3
Adapt this HCL setup to point at a different IPv6-only endpoint and check whether Terraform Cloud still fails to connect, proving the limitation is not specific to one server.
