Terraform is an open-source "infrastructure as code" tool. The tool allows for the efficient creation, definition, and modification of server infrastructures and configurations. Terraform successfully operates with the most popular cloud servers in the industry, such as AWS, IBM Cloud, Google Cloud Platform, Azure, and more.
Benefits of Using Terraform
After setting up the infrastructure and defining all required configurations, Terraform presents a "planning" step where it generates and displays an execution plan. This feature prevents surprises when the tool actually operates the server infrastructure. Another advantage of using Terraform is that it provides a resource graph, allowing you to visualize the dependencies among server resources clearly. Additionally, it enables automated changes that can be implemented relatively quickly and easily in infrastructure management. After using Terraform, other server management tools like Ansible and Puppet come into play, primarily addressing server resource management, automation development, and custom needs.
In summary, Terraform is software that efficiently and securely enables the creation, modification, and enhancement of the entire infrastructure process. With built-in APIs, it assists us in creating the entire infrastructure and configuring it efficiently. For a variety of professionals in the IT industry, especially DevOps personnel, it is important and recommended to have the skill to use Terraform as part of their toolkit for development needs, configurations, infrastructure deployment, and more.
