Terraform is HashiCorp's infrastructure-as-code tool that codifies cloud and on-prem resources into declarative configuration files which can be versioned, reviewed, and shared. It builds a resource graph, generates execution plans, and safely automates creating, changing, and destroying infrastructure across many providers.
Use cases
- provision aws, azure, or gcp infrastructure from code
- manage kubernetes clusters across multiple clouds
- version and review infrastructure changes like application code
- create and destroy ephemeral preview environments automatically
- codify dns entries, storage, and networking as reusable modules
- plan infrastructure changes before applying them
When to choose
- you want declarative, version-controlled provisioning across multiple cloud providers
- you need execution plans and dependency graphs to avoid destructive surprises
- your team wants reusable infrastructure modules and a large provider ecosystem
When to avoid
- you only need configuration management inside existing servers rather than provisioning resources
- you require a fully open-source license, since Terraform moved to a source-available BUSL
- you prefer imperative or immutable-image-first workflows like Packer plus direct SDK scripts
