Terraform - Automate Your Infrastructure on Any Cloud.

Terraform helps you safely and efficiently build, change, and version your infrastructure. Terraform manages low-level components like computing instances, storage, and networking, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features. This includes both the creation of resources at their desired state and the changes to their desired state.

Terraform is a tool for describing and managing infrastructure as code. Terraform allows you to describe multiple pieces of your stack, including servers, networks, and data centers, in the form of code. Even if your resources come from different providers such as AWS or Azure, Terraform helps you build and manage these resources in parallel across providers. Think of Terraform as connective tissue and common language that you can utilize to manage your entire IT stack.

Terraform can be your best friend if you’re planning to monopolize the cloud. If you have a new infrastructure deployment and need to move from on-premise, use Terraform to jumpstart your cloud or give AWS users a seamless experience.

• Declarative nature

  Declarative IaC tools are helpful for users to specify the desired end state and IaC tools auto-carry out the necessary steps that allow achieving the final state. In contrast to other imperative i.e. script-based tools, the declarative tool allows the user to specify the desired state and then let the machine learn algorithms carry out the necessary actions.

• Platform agnostics

  Automated infrastructure as code (IaC) tools like AWS CloudFormation and Azure Resource templates are platform specific. Yet, Terraform allows users to use a single tool to manage infrastructure across platforms with applications using many tools, platforms, and multi-cloud architectures.

• Reusable configurations

  Terraform allows the creation of reusable configurations, where users can use the same configuration to provision multiple environments. This is achieved with the help of modules, which allow you to create reusable components within the configuration files.

• Managed state

  With state files, all the changes to your environment are recorded and any unnecessary changes won't occur unless you explicitly specify them. This can be further automated to detect any config drifts and automatically fix that drift in order to ensure the desired state is met at all times.

• Easy rollbacks

  It is very easy to configure and make changes in the configuration. As all configurations are version controlled and the state is managed, users can easily and safely roll back most infrastructure configurations without complicated procedures

• Integration to CI/CD

  Terraform provides a simple three-step workflow that can be easily integrated into any CI/CD pipeline. It helps to completely automate infrastructure management, allowing you to focus on the development, testing, and deployment of your infrastructure - without worrying about maintaining infrastructure.
