General News 

Terraform AWS Cloud Control API provider is now generally available 

• The AWS Cloud Control Provider (AWSCC), built around the AWS Cloud Control API and designed to bring new services to Terraform faster, is now generally available. 
  • The 1.0 release represents a step in their effort to provide launch-day support of AWS services.  
• This service was put into tech preview in 2021. 
• Glad it’s finally here; although we thought this effort was abandoned, honestly.
