Ephemeral resources (Terraform 1.10+) produce values that are never persisted to state or plan. They exist for exactly one job: handing secrets — tokens, generated passwords, short-lived certificates, decrypted values — to the parts of a configuration that need them, without writing them to disk. Any data source that returns a sensitive value is a candidate to be (or to also exist as) an ephemeral resource.
Official docs: Ephemeral Resources.
| Situation | Use |
|---|---|
| Read-only lookup of non-sensitive data | Data source |
| Value is sensitive and only needed at apply time (DB password for a provider block, token for a write-only attribute) | Ephemeral resource |
| Sensitive value that downstream managed resources must store (e.g. as an attribute) | Regular resource/data source — but pair with write-only attributes where possible |
| Credential that expires mid-operation (STS-style tokens, short-TTL leases) | Ephemeral resource with Renew |
Ephemeral results can be used in provider configuration, write-only attributes, provisioner configuration, and other ephemeral contexts — but not in regular attributes, because those persist to state.
Terraform calls up to three methods per operation:
Open (required) — fetch or create the value; runs during plan
and/or apply whenever the result is needed. There is no state to refresh
and nothing to import.Renew (optional) — called when the wall clock passes the
RenewAt returned by Open/Renew, for values that expire while
Terraform is still running. Renew cannot return a new result — it can
only extend/refresh what Open produced (e.g. re-lease the same
credential); if the value itself changes on renewal, the API is not
renewable in this sense and Open must return a longer-lived value.Close (optional) — called when Terraform is done with the value;
revoke leases or delete temporary credentials here.Open can pass bytes forward via resp.Private; Renew and Close
receive them — use this for lease IDs needed to renew/revoke.

provider-resources skill, if available, shows it); the client comes from

func (p *examplecloudProvider) EphemeralResources(_ context.Context) []func() ephemeral.EphemeralResource {

NewTokenEphemeralResource(),

}
Set resp.EphemeralResourceData = client in the provider's Configure
alongside ResourceData/DataSourceData.

# Terraform Provider Ephemeral Resources
Ephemeral resources (Terraform 1.10+) produce values that are **never
persisted to state or plan**. They exist for exactly one job: handing
secrets — tokens, generated passwords, short-lived certificates, decrypted
values — to the parts of a configuration that need them, without writing
them to disk. Any data source that returns a sensitive value is a candidate
to be (or to also exist as) an ephemeral resource.
Official docs: [Ephemeral Resources](https://developer.hashicorp.com/terraform/plugin/framework/ephemeral-resources).
## When to Use One
| Situation | Use |
|---|---|
| Read-only lookup of non-sensitive data | Data source |
| Value is sensitive and only needed at apply time (DB password for a provider block, token for a write-only attribute) | Ephemeral resource |
| Sensitive value that downstream *managed resources* must store (e.g. as an attribute) | Regular resource/data source — but pair with write-only attributes where possible |
| Credential that expires mid-operation (STS-style tokens, short-TTL leases) | Ephemeral resource with `Renew` |
Ephemeral results can be used in provider configuration, write-only
attributes, provisioner configuration, and other ephemeral contexts — but
not in regular attributes, because those persist to state.
## Lifecycle
Terraform calls up to three methods per operation:
- **`Open`** (required) — fetch or create the value; runs during plan
and/or apply whenever the result is needed. There is no state to refresh
and nothing to import.
- **`Renew`** (optional) — called when the wall clock passes the
`RenewAt` returned by `Open`/`Renew`, for values that expire while
Terraform is still running. Renew cannot return a new result — it can
only extend/refresh what `Open` produced (e.g. re-lease the same
credential); if the value itself changes on renewal, the API is not
renewable in this sense and `Open` must return a longer-lived value.
- **`Close`** (optional) — called when Terraform is done with the value;
revoke leases or delete temporary credentials here.
`Open` can pass bytes forward via `resp.Private`; `Renew` and `Close`
receive them — use this for lease IDs needed to renew/revoke.
## Implementation
```go
var (
_ ephemeral.EphemeralResource = &tokenEphemeralResource{}
_ ephemeral.EphemeralResourceWithConfigure = &tokenEphemeralResource{}
_ ephemeral.EphemeralResourceWithRenew = &tokenEphemeralResource{}
_ ephemeral.EphemeralResourceWithClose = &tokenEphemeralResource{}
)
func NewTokenEphemeralResource() ephemeral.EphemeralResource {
return &tokenEphemeralResource{}
}
type tokenEphemeralResource struct {
client *examplecloud.Client
}
type tokenEphemeralResourceModel struct {
RoleName types.String `tfsdk:"role_name"`
Token types.String `tfsdk:"token"`
LeaseID types.String `tfsdk:"lease_id"`
}
func (r *tokenEphemeralResource) Metadata(_ context.Context, req ephemeral.MetadataRequest, resp *ephemeral.MetadataResponse) {
resp.TypeName = req.ProviderTypeName + "_token"
}
func (r *tokenEphemeralResource) Schema(_ context.Context, _ ephemeral.SchemaRequest, resp *ephemeral.SchemaResponse) {
resp.Schema = schema.Schema{
Attributes: map[string]schema.Attribute{
"role_name": schema.StringAttribute{
Required: true,
MarkdownDescription: "Role to obtain a token for.",
},
"token": schema.StringAttribute{
Computed: true,
Sensitive: true,
MarkdownDescription: "The issued token. Never persisted to state.",
},
"lease_id": schema.StringAttribute{
Computed: true,
MarkdownDescription: "Identifier of the token lease.",
},
},
}
}
func (r *tokenEphemeralResource) Open(ctx context.Context, req ephemeral.OpenRequest, resp *ephemeral.OpenResponse) {
var data tokenEphemeralResourceModel
resp.Diagnostics.Append(req.Config.Get(ctx, &data)...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
lease, err := r.client.IssueToken(ctx, data.RoleName.ValueString())
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError(
"Error opening Token",
fmt.Sprintf("issuing token for role (%s): %s", data.RoleName.ValueString(), err),
)
return
}
data.Token = types.StringValue(lease.Token)
data.LeaseID = types.StringValue(lease.ID)
resp.RenewAt = lease.ExpiresAt.Add(-2 * time.Minute) // renew with margin
resp.Private.SetKey(ctx, "lease_id", []byte(lease.ID))
resp.Diagnostics.Append(resp.Result.Set(ctx, &data)...)
}
func (r *tokenEphemeralResource) Renew(ctx context.Context, req ephemeral.RenewRequest, resp *ephemeral.RenewResponse) {
leaseID, diags := req.Private.GetKey(ctx, "lease_id")
resp.Diagnostics.Append(diags...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
lease, err := r.client.RenewLease(ctx, string(leaseID))
if err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError("Error renewing Token", err.Error())
return
}
resp.RenewAt = lease.ExpiresAt.Add(-2 * time.Minute)
}
func (r *tokenEphemeralResource) Close(ctx context.Context, req ephemeral.CloseRequest, resp *ephemeral.CloseResponse) {
leaseID, diags := req.Private.GetKey(ctx, "lease_id")
resp.Diagnostics.Append(diags...)
if resp.Diagnostics.HasError() {
return
}
if err := r.client.RevokeLease(ctx, string(leaseID)); err != nil {
resp.Diagnostics.AddError("Error closing Token", err.Error())
}
}
```
`Configure` follows the same ProviderData-cast pattern as resources (the
`provider-resources` skill, if available, shows it); the client comes from
`resp.EphemeralResourceData` set in the provider's `Configure`.
## Registration
The provider opts in via `provider.ProviderWithEphemeralResources`:
```go
var _ provider.ProviderWithEphemeralResources = &examplecloudProvider{}
func (p *examplecloudProvider) EphemeralResources(_ context.Context) []func() ephemeral.EphemeralResource {
return []func() ephemeral.EphemeralResource{
NewTokenEphemeralResource(),
}
}
```
Set `resp.EphemeralResourceData = client` in the provider's `Configure`
alongside `ResourceData`/`DataSourceData`.
## Design Rules
- **Never log the value, never put it in a diagnostic.** The whole point is
non-persistence; an error message containing the token defeats it.
- Mark the secret attribute `Sensitive: true` anyway — it guards rendering
in the ephemeral value's own lifecycle output.
- No plan modifiers, no import, no `id` convention — there is no state for
any of them to act on.
- Schema inputs follow the same rules as data source arguments; expose the
API's identifiers (`role_name`), not invented ones.
- Set `RenewAt` with a safety margin before the real expiry; Terraform
renews lazily, not on a precise timer.
- If the upstream value cannot be revoked, skip `Close` rather than
implementing a no-op that suggests revocation happens.
## Testing
Ephemeral results never reach state, so tests assert them indirectly — the
standard pattern echoes the ephemeral value through the `echoprovider` into
a regular resource the test can inspect. Minimum coverage: a basic
open-and-use test and per-attribute tests alongside required fields. Use
the `provider-test-patterns` skill (if available) — its ephemeral testing
reference covers the echoprovider setup, version gating
(`tfversion.SkipBelow(tfversion.Version1_10_0)`), and multi-step patterns.
## Documentation
Registry docs live at `docs/ephemeral-resources/<name>.md`, generated by
`tfplugindocs` like every other page type. Use the `provider-docs` skill
(if available) for the workflow; document the renewal/revocation behavior
explicitly — users need to know whether closing their Terraform run revokes
the credential.
