    With every major GitLab version, we update the stable Terraform templates with the current latest templates.
    This change affects the [quickstart](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Terraform.gitlab-ci.yml)
    and the [base](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/blob/master/lib/gitlab/ci/templates/Terraform/Base.gitlab-ci.yml) templates.

    Because the new templates ship with default rules, the update might break your Terraform pipelines.
    For example, if your Terraform jobs are triggered as a downstream pipeline, the rules won't trigger your jobs
    in GitLab 16.0.

    To accommodate the changes, you might need to adjust the [`rules`](https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/yaml/#rules) in your
    `.gitlab-ci.yml` file.
