With the ever-changing technology, companies requirements keep on changing as well. Companies who shifted to the Cloud now require multiple cloud platforms to provide services effectively, therefore they make use of Public and Private Clouds at the same time. For the service managers, the problem occurs when they need to acquaint themselves with the working of various cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure or Private Cloud like Openstack.
Working with multiple platforms requires a fixed standard to integrate them at the same time, here Terraform comes into role. It is a tool, which acts like a command standard for all the cloud platforms. The language in which the code is written is HashiCorp Configuration Language or HCL. Simple keywords can be used to write the code and all the actions can be performed, which are done using the WebUI. Terraform makes it easier to use various cloud platforms at once since it abolishes the need of learning them independently.
Terraform is very easy to use, download the software, set the environment variable and run. The following snapshots for reference will make it easier to understand.
Happy Learning!
