Terraform is a tool for building and changing infrastructure
|

safely and efficiently.
|
||||
Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure
|
||||
safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service
|
||||
providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
|
||||
|
||||
The key features of Terraform are:
|
||||
|
||||
* **Infrastructure as Code**: Infrastructure is described using a high-level
|
||||
configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be
|
||||
versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally,
|
||||
infrastructure can be shared and re-used.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Execution Plans**: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates
|
||||
an _execution plan_. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when
|
||||
you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform
|
||||
manipulates infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Resource Graph**: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources,
|
||||
and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent
|
||||
resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently
|
||||
as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their
|
||||
infrastructure.
|
||||
|
||||
* **Change Automation**: Complex changesets can be applied to
|
||||
your infrastructure with minimal human interaction.
|
||||
With the previously mentioned execution
|
||||
plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change
|
||||
and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.
