Modern infrastructure demands regular updates to maintain security, efficiency, and compliance. However, managing the lifecycle of Terraform modules presents unique challenges for platform teams: How do you signal to consumers that a module version should no longer be used? How can you identify workspaces that need updates? How do you effectively communicate these needs across your organization?

In this session, we'll explore comprehensive module lifecycle management strategies within HCP Terraform's private registry. You'll learn practical approaches to:

- Implement effective module versioning strategies that enable seamless updates
- Leverage module deprecation to signal that versions are maintained but not recommended
- Use module revocation to block new usage of problematic versions while maintaining existing workloads
- Utilize the Explorer to identify workspaces using outdated module versions
- Create and manage change requests to track necessary updates
- Configure team notifications to ensure timely communication about required changes

Through practical demonstrations, you'll see how these tools create a complete feedback loop between module publishers and consumers, enabling effective governance without disrupting developer workflows. Whether you're managing a small team or a large enterprise, these practices will help you maintain module health while strengthening communication between platform teams and module consumers.
