Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IAC) tool developed by HashiCorp. It allows developers and operations teams to define and manage infrastructure resources, such as servers, storage, networking, and security policies, using a high-level configuration language. With Terraform, infrastructure resources can be treated as code, which means that changes can be versioned, tested, and automated, providing better control, consistency, and agility. Terraform supports a wide range of cloud and on-premises providers, including Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), and VMware.
