If you've used Google provider for Terraform versions earlier than 4.76.0 to create Private Service Connect service attachments, do not upgrade to versions 4.76.0 through 4.81.x. When you run terraform apply after the upgrade, Terraform might unintentionally delete and recreate the service attachments and close existing Private Service Connect connections.
