+// Package ephemeral contains all interfaces, request types, and response
+// types for an ephemeral resource implementation.
+//
+// In Terraform, an ephemeral resource is a concept which enables provider
+// developers to offer practitioners ephemeral values, which will not be stored
+// in any artifact produced by Terraform (plan/state). Ephemeral resources can
+// optionally implement renewal logic via the (EphemeralResource).Renew method
+// and cleanup logic via the (EphemeralResource).Close method.
+//
+// Ephemeral resources are not saved into the Terraform plan or state and can
+// only be referenced in other ephemeral values, such as provider configuration
+// attributes. Ephemeral resources are defined by a type/name, such as "examplecloud_thing",
+// a schema representing the structure and data types of configuration, and lifecycle logic.
+//
+// The main starting point for implementations in this package is the
+// EphemeralResource type which represents an instance of an ephemeral resource
+// that has its own configuration and lifecycle logic. The [ephemeral.EphemeralResource]
+// implementations are referenced by the [provider.ProviderWithEphemeralResources] type
+// EphemeralResources method, which enables the ephemeral resource practitioner usage.
+//
+// NOTE: Ephemeral resource support is experimental and exposed without compatibility promises until
+// these notices are removed.
