One of the key reasons for this acceptance is Terraform's ability to automate infrastructure provisioning and administration via Infrastructure as Code (IaC). By describing infrastructure configurations in code, businesses may automate resource deployment across several cloud providers and on-premises systems.
This automation not only speeds up the provisioning process, but it also improves consistency and prevents the possibility of human error, resulting in increased operational efficiency.
Terraform's provider-based design provides a uniform approach to resource management across AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and other platforms which is a game changer due to the multi-cloud strategy being used by the companies to avoid vendor lock-in
Moreover, Terraform's interface with Kubernetes and containers increases its value by automating the deployment and administration of cloud-native applications
In today's scenario, I believe terraform would be a key skill for cloud professionals
