The Terraform Provider Development Program facilitates vendors in creating and publishing Terraform providers that have been officially approved and verified by HashiCorp. Once verified, the provider published under your organizations namespace will receive a distinct tier and badge that helps to distinguish it from community-sourced providers within the [Registry](https://registry.terraform.io).

This program is intended to be largely self-serve, with links to information sources, clearly defined steps, and checkpoints detailed below.
