Requires a Terraform Cloud account to reproduce the remote failure, though local execution works with standard Terraform installed.
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.
A minimal test case proving Terraform Cloud cannot connect to IPv6-only services. It shows code that works locally but fails on Terraform Cloud due to missing IPv6 networking.
