What is Terraform? Why Everyone is talking About it?
A DevOps tool for Infrastructure as Code in automation
Introduction
In today’s market, the famous technology is the cloud, every tech company is trying to establish its infrastructure on the cloud to get rid of managing the large infrastructure that takes a huge amount of time and labor.
Here, infrastructure is like servers, storage, switches, firewall, routers, etc.
We have many clouds in the market like AWS, Azure, GCP, and many more to take care of all infrastructure systems and their failures.
Every tech company is coming from monthly payments to hourly or even minutes payment on the cloud which saves a lot of money.
Suppose, we want to create instances on the cloud and it’s an easy process, but now we want to create 200 instances and divide them into different regions and install different packages on them. It’s a tedious task now, so, we want an automation process to do these processes.
History of Terraform
In the year around 2011, AWS came with an automation tool or service named Cloud-Formation. Now, we can create as many as instances in so couple of minutes.
