Infrastructure as code
Use infrastructure as code to automate the provisioning of your infrastructure including servers, databases, firewall policies, and almost any other resource.
Automate infrastructure on any cloud with Terraform
Infrastructure automation to provision and manage resources in any cloud or data center.
Deliver infrastructure as code
Terraform codifies cloud APIs into declarative configuration files.
Adopt
Compose infrastructure as code in a Terraform file using HCL to provision resources from any infrastructure provider.
Build
Infrastructure automation workflows to compose, collaborate, reuse, and provision infrastructure as code across IT operations and teams of developers.
Standardize
Establish guardrails for security, compliance, and cost management through role-based access controls, policy enforcement, and audit.
Scale
Extend workflow automation to all teams in the organization with self-service infrastructure as code and integrate with VCS, ITSM, and CI/CD.
Common use cases for Terraform
Multi-cloud provisioning
Deploy serverless functions with AWS Lambda, manage Microsoft Azure Active Directory resources, provision a load balancer in Google Cloud, and more.
Manage Kubernetes
Provision and manage Kubernetes clusters on AWS, Microsoft Azure, or Google Cloud, and interact with your cluster using the Kubernetes Terraform provider.
Manage network infrastructure
Automate key networking tasks like updating load balancer target pools or applying firewall policies.
Manage virtual images
Build and manage virtual images with Terraform and Packer.
Integrate with existing workflows
Automate infrastructure deployments through existing CI/CD workflows.
Enforce policy as code
Enforce policy guardrails before your users create infrastructure using Sentinel policy as code.
Inject secrets into Terraform
Use HashiCorp Vault to automate the usage of dynamically generated secrets and credentials within Terraform configurations.
Terraform in practice
The best way to understand what Terraform can enable for your infrastructure is to see it in action.
