Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool used for building, managing, and versioning infrastructure efficiently and safely. It allows users to define infrastructure resources as code, enabling automated provisioning and deployment across various cloud and on-premises environments. Terraform uses a declarative language to define infrastructure configurations, allowing users to specify desired states without worrying about the underlying implementation details.

Features of Terraform:

• Terraform supports multiple cloud providers including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more, allowing users to manage infrastructure across different cloud platforms using a unified workflow.
• Terraform treats infrastructure as code, enabling version control, code reuse, and collaboration among team members, resulting in consistent and reproducible infrastructure deployments.
• Terraform builds a dependency graph of infrastructure resources, enabling intelligent planning and execution of changes while ensuring proper order of resource provisioning and updates.
• Terraform promotes the concept of immutable infrastructure, where infrastructure changes are applied by creating new resources rather than modifying existing ones, enhancing reliability and scalability.
