Terraform Overview

Infrastructure as Code

You describe your infrastructure using Terraform’s high-level configuration language in human-readable, declarative configuration files. This allows you to create a blueprint that you can version, share, and reuse.

Execution Plans

Terraform generates an execution plan describing what it will do and asks for your approval before making any infrastructure changes. This allows you to review changes before Terraform creates, updates, or destroys infrastructure.

Resource Graph

Terraform builds a resource graph and creates or modifies non-dependent resources in parallel. This allows Terraform to build resources as efficiently as possible and gives you greater insight into your infrastructure.

Change Automation

Terraform can apply complex changesets to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. When you update configuration files, Terraform determines what changed and creates incremental execution plans that respect dependencies.
