Terraform¶
Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool for defining and provisioning infrastructure.
Description¶
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code tool that allows you to define and provision infrastructure using a declarative configuration language.
Why we use it¶
Terraform automates the creation of infrastructure across our multiple cloud services. This standardizes and controls the infrastructure created for each app. With our implementation, you won't need to run anything locally; it will execute from a pipeline. You will set values, or they will be preset from the project templates, and these will be passed to a Terraform module containing best practices for the services we use.
