Hyper Protect Crypto Services (HPCS) integration deprecated
:  Support for Hyper Protect Crypto Services (HPCS) as a key management service for Schematics is now deprecated. Existing HPCS integrations will continue to function, but new integrations with HPCS are no longer supported.

Migration to Key Protect recommended
:  Customers currently using HPCS are encouraged to migrate to IBM Key Protect. Key Protect is available in two deployment options to meet your security and compliance requirements:
   - **Key Protect Multi-Tenant (BYOK):** A shared key management service with FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs that provides Bring Your Own Key (BYOK) capability
   - **Key Protect Dedicated (KYOK):** A single-tenant service with dedicated FIPS 140-2 Level 3 certified HSMs that provides Keep Your Own Key (KYOK) capability for enhanced security and exclusive control

   Both Key Protect deployment options provide suitable alternatives to HPCS. For more information about integrating with Key Protect, see [KMS integration for BYOK or KYOK](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-kms-integration&format=markdown) and [Data security](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-secure-data&format=markdown#data-storage).

Stop apply support
:   IBM Cloud Schematics now supports stopping a Schematics apply action that currently runs against your workspace from the console and the API. For more information, see [Managing resource lifecycles](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-manage-lifecycle&format=markdown) or use the [DELETE /v1/workspaces/{id}/actions/{action_id}](https://cloud.ibm.com/apis/schematics/schematics#delete-action) API.

New Schematics locations
:   You can now create Schematics workspaces in the Frankfurt or London location by using the location selector from the Schematics console or targeting the matching IBM Cloud region through CLI. For more information, see [Locations and service endpoints](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-locations&format=markdown) and [Where is your data stored?](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-secure-data&format=markdown#pi-location)

For more information about how to use the Ansible provisioner, see [Discover the VPC configuration for application deployment](https://developer.ibm.com/articles/secure-vpc-access-with-a-bastion-host-and-terraform/).

Upload Terraform templates as `TAR` files
:   You can now provide your Terraform template by uploading a tap archive file from your local system. This feature is supported from the command-line or API. For more information, see the [`ibmcloud schematics workspace upload`](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-schematics-cli-reference&format=markdown#schematics-workspace-upload) command or [`PUT /v1/workspaces/{id}/templates/{template_id}/template_repo_upload`](https://cloud.ibm.com/apis/schematics/schematics#template-repo-upload) API.

New EU API endpoint
:   You can now choose to create your Schematics workspaces in the US or Europe. Depending on the location that you choose, your Schematics actions run in either the US (`us-south` or `us-east`) or in Europe (`eu-de` or `eu-gb`). The location that you choose for your workspace is independent from the location where you want to provision your resources. For more information, see [Locations and service endpoints](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-locations&format=markdown).

Terraform v0.12 support
:   You can now choose to run your infrastructure code with Terraform version 0.11 or 0.12. With Terraform version 0.12, the syntax for configuration files changed. Make sure that you use the syntax that is compatible with the Terraform version that you want to use. To migrate your Terraform configuration files from version 0.11 to version 0.12, see [Migrating your Terraform configuration files from version 0.11 to version 0.12](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/ibm-cloud-provider-for-terraform?topic=ibm-cloud-provider-for-terraform-migration-versioncontrol&format=markdown).

New workspace creation flow
:   The workspace creation flow is now [a two-step process](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-sch-create-wks&interface=ui&format=markdown#create-wks-ui). First, you create the workspace without connecting it to a GitHub or GitLab repository. Then, you add the details of your GitHub or GitLab repository, retrieve input variables, and allow Schematics scan your Terraform configuration files for syntax errors. With the change of the workspace creation flow, [new workspace states](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/schematics?topic=schematics-wks-state&format=markdown#states-overview) are introduced as well.
