Encription# Terraform #cloud #IaC #terraform
Terraform is a open-source infrastructure as code IaC tool, which enables users to safely and predictably manage infrastructure. It helps in organizing large Infrastructures by managing it as code. Terraform enables developers to use a high-level configuration language called HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) to describe the desired “end-state” cloud or on-premises infrastructure for running an application. It then generates a plan for reaching that end-state and executes the plan to provision the infrastructure.
Packer Azure Windows is a tool that is often used with terraform to create images (os images required for terraform) which are then used to spinup virtual machines.
