Terraform
A tool for managing infrastructure using configuration files instead of setting it up manually
What's it for?
Lets teams create the same computing setup reliably from written instructions instead of configuring it by hand each time.
For example…
An engineer updates a Terraform file to add a staging database; a pipeline applies the change after review.
A platform team uses Terraform files to create identical networks and databases in test and production instead of configuring each environment by hand
Think of it like…
Architectural blueprints that builders follow, rather than sketching the building on-site each time
