HashiCorp Terraform

Endorse Pending Review

HashiCorp Terraform provides a common configuration language (HCL) to manage the entire IT stack. By treating infrastructure as software, it allows teams to version, share, and reuse configurations, ensuring that infrastructure is consistently deployed and easily recoverable in the event of a disaster.

• Multi-Cloud Orchestration: Manage resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, and 3,000+ other providers using a single, consistent workflow.

• Declarative Configuration: Focus on the "what" (desired state) instead of the "how" (procedural steps), making configurations easier to understand and maintain.

• State Management: Terraform keeps track of your real-world infrastructure in a state file, allowing it to determine exactly which changes are needed to reach your goal.

• Modular Reusability: Group resources into "modules" to create standardized, approved infrastructure patterns that can be shared across the organization.

• Execution Plans: The terraform plan command generates a speculative preview of changes, preventing accidental deletions or misconfigurations before they happen.

• Policy and Governance: (HCP/Enterprise) Enforce organizational standards automatically using Sentinel or OPA (Open Policy Agent) to block non-compliant deployments.
