How to Install Terraform CLI in Windows 11 Operating System | Part - 01
Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code software tool created by HashiCorp. Users define and provide data center infrastructure using a declarative configuration language known as HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL).
Using Terraform has several advantages over manually managing your infrastructure:
1. Terraform can manage infrastructure on multiple cloud platforms.
2. The human-readable configuration language helps you write infrastructure code quickly.
3. Terraform's state allows you to track resource changes throughout your deployments.
4. You can commit your configurations to version control to safely collaborate on infrastructure.
Terraform plugins called providers let Terraform interact with cloud platforms and other services via their application programming interfaces (APIs). HashiCorp and the Terraform community have written over 1,000 providers to manage resources on Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
