Terraform

HashiCorp Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) engine allowing declarative provisioning and lifecycle management of cloud resources across multi-cloud environments using HCL.

When to Use

• Multi-Cloud Declarative Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Provisioning and managing resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, and Kubernetes.
• State Management & Team Collaboration: Tracking real-world cloud resources via remote state backends with locking.
• Modular Infrastructure Architecture: Writing reusable, version-controlled modules for standard cloud topologies.
• Pre-Deployment Execution Planning: Auditing infrastructure changes with terraform plan before applying.
