Terraform

Infrastructure as code for any cloud

About Terraform

Terraform is an infrastructure-as-code tool from HashiCorp that lets teams define servers, networks, databases and cloud services in readable configuration files instead of clicking through consoles. It builds a dependency graph of your resources, shows an execution plan before anything changes, and then provisions or updates infrastructure consistently across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and hundreds of other providers. Platform engineers use it to make environments reproducible, reviewable and version-controlled like application code. The Terraform CLI is free and open source; HCP Terraform adds collaboration features with a free plan for up to 500 managed resources and paid Essentials, Standard and Premium tiers.
