What is Terraform?

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool by HashiCorp. It allows teams to safely and efficiently build, change, and version infrastructure.

Key Features

Infrastructure as Code

Define and manage infrastructure using declarative configuration files (HCL).

Multi-Cloud

Create and manage infrastructure on AWS, Azure, GCP, and other providers simultaneously.

State Management

Track resource states across environments for consistency and reproducibility.

Modular Architecture

Reuse infrastructure components through reusable modules for complex deployments.

Plan & Apply

Visualize changes impacts before deployment with the terraform plan command.

Version Control

Store infrastructure definitions in version control systems for auditability and history tracking.

Common Use Cases

Cloud Provisioning

Quickly deploy infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP with declarative HCL configurations.

CI/CD Integration

Automate infrastructure creation as part of your software delivery pipeline.

Multi-Environment Management

Manage dev, staging, and production environments with consistent configuration files.

Cost Optimization

Track costs by applying tags and defining resource quotas in infrastructure code.

Disaster Recovery

Use state files for rapid re-creation of infrastructure in case of outages.

Security Enforcement

Automate security policies like IAM roles, network access, and encryption through code.
