Terraform Cloud – ‘operations’ attribute is deprecate, and cannot be used in conjuction with ‘execution’. Use the latter only

Problem

You are trying to add a new workspace in your organization in Terraform Cloud, using the same connected VCS (Gitlab) as the one you already have setup, but you get the above error when trying to add it in Firefox (Linux – Ubuntu – 79).

Solution

Use Chromi(um) to create the workspace as it works there. You can then use it in Firefox as normal.

Failed to initialize build ‘qemu’: post-processor type not found: exoscale-import

Problem

Trying to follow along the example in the Exoscale article about creating custom templates, you get the error about exoscale-import not found, when you are trying to validate the packer template.

Solution

Make sure that you use a current packer installation as the exoscale-import was not supported in the older versions.

kosmas:terraform (add_vault *%)$ packer --version
1.0.4

So after installing the latest version the above error goes away

kosmas:terraform (add_vault *%)$ packer --version
1.6.1

Solution
