What is Terraform?
- What is Terraform? Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool developed by HashiCorp. This provides infrastructure automation through code. Terraform has simplified the provisioning of infrastructure through easy human readable syntax. These configuration files are built up of blocks, arguments, and exceptions. These declarative configuration files are created with blocks, arguments and exceptions within your Terraform code. With this code, it then creates and manages infrastructure through a cloud services application programming interface, or API. This enables Terraform to work with virtually any platform or service with an accessible API.
