Most other IaC tools are designed to work with single cloud provider. Platform agnostic: Meaning you can use it with any cloud services provider.This also means Terraform evolves quickly, with new benefits and improvements added consistently. Regardless of which cloud provider you use, it’s easy to find plugins, extensions, and professional support. Open source: Terraform is backed by large communities of contributors who build plugins to the platform.There are a few key reasons developers choose to use Terraform over other Infrastructure as Code tools: See “What is Infrastructure as Code?” for a closer look: Support experimentation, testing, and optimization: Because Infrastructure as Code makes provisioning new infrastructure so much faster and easier, you can make and test experimental changes without investing lots of time and resources and if you like the results, you can quickly scale up the new infrastructure for production.Prevent configuration drift: Configuration drift occurs when the configuration that provisioned your environment no longer matches the actual environment.With IaC, the resources are always provisioned and configured exactly as declared. Improve reliability: If your infrastructure is large, it becomes easy to misconfigure a resource or provision services in the wrong order.Improve speed: Automation is faster than manually navigating an interface when you need to deploy and/or connect resources.Infrastructure as code can help with the following: It’s a key component of Agile and DevOps practices such as version control, continuous integration, and continuous deployment. IaC allows developers to codify infrastructure in a way that makes provisioning automated, faster, and repeatable. To better understand the advantages of Terraform, it helps to first understand the benefits of Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
