Overview

Terraform is a powerful IaC (Infrastructure as Code) tool designed to simplify the management of the cloud.

It enables users to define, deploy, and manage resources across multiple cloud providers using a declarative configuration language.

Features

• Multi-Cloud Support: Integrates with AWS, Azure, GCP, and more.
• Infrastructure as Code: Allows you to codify any infrastructure for reproducibility.
• Resource Dependency Graph: Automatically handles resource dependencies.
• State Management: Keeps track of infrastructure changes and updates.

Example

Here is a basic example of creating an AWS EC2 instance

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-west-2"
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  ami           = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe1f0"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
}
