Terraform

The open source standard for infrastructure as code

Cloud infrastructures as code

Terraform is an open source tool that allows you to define and manage cloud infrastructures as code. It enables you to create and manage resources such as servers, databases and networks consistently and automatically across different cloud providers. With Terraform, you can version your infrastructure, track changes and easily replicate or scale your environment.

Terraform features

Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

With our help and Terraform, you can define your entire IT infrastructure in declarative configuration files. This allows you to make repeatable and verifiable changes as your infrastructure is treated like code. You benefit from better traceability, automation and consistency in the provision and management of your infrastructure.

Multi-cloud support

Terraform helps you deploy and manage infrastructure across multiple cloud providers, including AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and many more. You can manage and orchestrate infrastructure in different environments with a single tool. This allows you to remain flexible and pursue a cloud agnostic strategy.

Change management with planning function

With Terraform, we provide you with a “Terraform Plan” function that allows you to simulate changes before they are made. You can see exactly which resources are created, changed or deleted before you apply the changes. This gives you full control over your infrastructure changes and allows you to avoid unforeseen problems from the outset.

Terraform Training

Learn modern automation and management of IT infrastructure with Terraform

The Terraform training shows how infrastructure is realized idempotently with Terraform’s own DSL (HCL, Hashicorp Configuration Language). All examples include practical exercises using Open Stack (also applicable to AWS and Azure). There is also a brief introduction to cloud-init in order to install and configure additional software.

Questions & Answers

The most frequently asked questions about Terraform

What is Terraform AWS?

2
3

Terraform AWS is an open-source infrastructure-as-code software developed by HashiCorp that enables the automated management and provisioning of Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources such as EC2 instances, S3 buckets or VPCs. Terraform allows users to write declarative configuration files that describe the desired cloud infrastructure, and Terraform takes care of creating, updating and managing these resources. This makes the provision and management of AWS infrastructures more efficient, scalable and reproducible.

What is Terraform Cloud?

2
3

Terraform Cloud is a platform hosted by HashiCorp that simplifies and automates the use and management of Terraform workflows. It provides teams with a centralized environment for executing, managing and coordinating Terraform plans and monitoring infrastructure changes. In addition, Terraform Cloud enables collaboration, remote backends for the state of Terraform and advanced functions such as role and access management.

How does Terraform work?

2
3

Terraform works by defining infrastructure as code (IaC), where users create declarative configuration files that describe the desired cloud infrastructure. Terraform interprets these files, creates an execution plan that shows the required changes to the infrastructure and then implements them to manage the resources in cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Open Stack. It retains the state of the infrastructure so that future changes can be managed efficiently and consistently.

What does Terraform do?

2
3

Terraform automates the provisioning and management of cloud infrastructure by defining and managing infrastructure as code. It creates, modifies and deletes resources such as virtual machines, networks and databases in cloud environments such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud or Open Stack. With Terraform, complex infrastructure setups can be executed in a repeatable and consistent manner, simplifying the scalability and management of large environments.

What are Terraform modules?

2
3

Terraform modules are reusable configuration units that combine a group of resources to simplify the management and provisioning of infrastructure. They make it possible to define frequently used infrastructure components, such as networks or virtual machines, in a structured format and use them repeatedly in different projects. By using modules, Terraform configurations can become clearer, more scalable and easier to maintain.

Is Terraform open source?

2
3

Yes, Terraform is open source and is published by HashiCorp under the Business Source License (BSL) v1.1. This means that the source code is freely available and developers can download it, adapt it and use it in their projects. In addition to the open source version, HashiCorp also offers commercial products such as Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise with extended functions for companies.
