Terraform

Terraform is HashiCorp’s infrastructure as a code tool. It lets you define resources and infrastructure in human-readable, declarative configuration files, and manages your infrastructure’s lifecycle.

Terraform Advantages

  • Terraform can manage infrastructure on multiple cloud platforms.
  • The human-readable configuration language helps you write infrastructure code quickly.
  • Terraform’s state allows you to track resource changes throughout your deployments.
  • You can commit your configurations to version control to safely collaborate on infrastructure.

Terraform Features

  • Terraform uses Hashicorp Configuration Langauge which provides a declarative syntax to develop infrastructure as code. The HCL configuration language helps declare the target state of cloud resources to be provisioned.
  • Terraform is a great tool to automate multi-cloud deployments. Its modular architecture enables working with multiple well-known cloud vendors simultaneously.
  • Terraform can be extended to support lesser-known or private data centers.
  • Terraform works with the programmatic access provided by cloud provider APIs. Thus there is no need to install agents.
