Definition

Open-source Infrastructure as Code tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure. Like having blueprints and construction management for cloud resources.

Real-World Example

DevOps teams use Terraform to create identical cloud environments across development, staging, and production.

Terraform is not a cloud provider service. It is a vendor-neutral Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool that uses provider plugins (AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and many others) to create and manage resources consistently across clouds.
