Terraform

About

Terraform - An Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool aimed at automating cloud infrastructure, which is an open source project being developed by HashiCorp.

The concept of IaC is to manage the infrastructure with code. Terraform provides HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) to declare cloud resources.

While AWS CloudFormation, the IaC of AWS's own, only supports AWS, Terraform supports major cloud services such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google Cloud Platform (GCP) and Microsoft Azure with so-called provider method.

With this feature, Terraform allows engineers to declare multi-cloud resources and manage them with codes and codes only. Simple as that!
