What is Terraform?
Terraform is an Infrastructure As Code tool that uses declarative configurational language that is Hashicorp Configurational Language (HCL) to define and provision infrastructure on a different cloud platform. Terraform helps organizations to have multiple cloud platform strategies which helps organizations to avoid depending on only one type of cloud platform. Terraform can provision on multiple cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, GCP, and many more. If Terraform is not developed then organizations have to use AWS Console, Azure Console, or GCP Console to create the entire infrastructure. This could lead to many manual errors while creating infrastructure. Finding these errors and resolving them would take too much time. But if the same task is done using Terraform then it would eliminate manual error occurrence. In summary, Terraform stands out as an essential solution offering simplicity, cross-platform compatibility, and automation capabilities for maintaining control, reliability, and scalability in any infrastructure setup.
