Terraform Tutorial for Beginners: Infrastructure as Code
This article provides a beginner's guide to Terraform, an infrastructure-as-code tool. It explains the concept of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) and highlights the benefits of using Terraform for managing cloud resources. The tutorial also discusses the recent licensing changes and the emergence of the OpenTofu project as an alternative to Terraform.
- ▪Infrastructure as Code allows for managing cloud resources through configuration files instead of manual clicks.
- ▪Terraform is the most widely used IaC tool, originally created by HashiCorp in 2014, and uses a declarative configuration language called HCL.
- ▪In August 2023, HashiCorp changed Terraform's license, leading to the creation of the OpenTofu project, which maintains the original MPL 2.0 license.
