AWS Databricks experienced a 4.9-hour incident affecting Declarative Automation Bundles for CI/CD deployments, caused by an expired HashiCorp GPG key used for Terraform binary verification. Customers experienced failures in CI/CD pipelines and were unable to perform automated deployments due to GPG checksum verification errors. The issue was resolved by releasing a fix in Databricks CLI version 0.297.2 that incorporates the new public key, with patch versions for older CLI versions being actively developed.

Impact Summary
Starting at 18 April 2026 21:50 UTC, customers using the Declarative Automation Bundles (formerly known as Databricks Asset Bundles) for automated CI/CD bundle deployments may experience delays or failures impacting deployments that require downloading and verifying the Terraform binary. This issue is caused by the GPG key used for checksum verification, provided by Hashicorp, having expired on April 18.
Symptoms
Customers may observe:
Failures in CI/CD pipelines when executing Databricks CLI bundle deployment commands.
Errors indicating a failure in GPG checksum verification during the installation process for the Terraform binary.
A widespread inability to perform automated deployments.
Recommendations
Workaround: For an immediate temporary solution, customers can manually download and install the Terraform binary themselves, perform their own security verification, and then point their bundle configuration to the locally installed Terraform version.
Future Upgrade: Once a fixed version of the CLI is released, customers who are not pinning their CLI version should upgrade to resolve the issue.
Current Status
Our team is actively investigating and working on a resolution. Engineering is focused on developing and releasing a fix.
