[BETA] Release version v0.2.1 evolved to 0.2.1.0015!

[zhenrong-wang]

This is a major update to the Version 0.2.1.0011.

---

Main changes:

1. INTRODUCED the switch between terraform and tofu

Now, HPC-NOW generates and manages a configuration file for tf running (either terraform or opentofu). Your can use the new command below to check and update the configuration file.

hpcopr set-tf: without extra command options, the current config will be displayed.

hpcopr set-tf --tf-run TF_NAME --dbg-level DEBUG_LOG_LEVEL --max-time MAX_WAITING_SECONDS, where

• TF_NAME can be either terraform or tofu, currently, terraform is the default option.
• DEBUG_LOG_LEVEL can be one of trace debug info warn error off.
• MAX_WAITING_SECONDS can be a value between 600 and 1200

2. INTRODUCED 3 command keywords to switch between terraform and opentofu in running

Now, you can use the command keywords --tf-run TF_NAME --dbg-level DEBUG_LOG_LEVEL --max-time MAX_WAITING_SECONDS to specify the tf running config for the current run. This will override the configs set by the set-tf command above.

Example: hpcopr init -b --tf-run terraform --dbg-level error --max-time 800

This example command will start initializing a cluster with terraform, only output error logs, and with maximum execution time 800 seconds. Check the effect below:

3. Better wrapped tf_execution

The tf_execution() function was updated with a new struct type tf_exec_config. With this method, the whole codes are much more readable and extendable.

4. Extra information was included in the repo

Uploaded the MD5s and versions of the third-party components. See the new directory vers_md5s folder.

5. Command deprecation

None.

6. Deleted the dev-0.2.2-opentofu branch

Because the switch between terraform and opentofu was introduced, the previously-branched dev-0.2.2-opentofu is now outdated. We deleted it from the repository.
