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