Terraform is a free and open source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool for provisioning and managing cloud, infrastructure or service. It enables users to define and provision data center infrastructure with HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL).
With Terraform, we can deploy and manage cloud infrastructure and services such as:
- Amazon Web Services (AWS)
- Microsoft Azure
- Google Cloud Platform (GCP)
- Kubernetes, and more
The tool also supports a range of other cloud providers, such as Heroku, DigitalOcean, and OpenStack.
Using Terraform, Quintagroup developers can create repeatable, versioned, and testable definitions of their infrastructure. This enables them to safely and predictably make changes and upgrades. Are you interested in cloud computing? Get a consultation on the benefits of Terraform service.

Terraform Features: Resource Graphs, Dependency Management and Other
Terraform’s resource graphs
Terraform’s resource graphs allow users to visualize their resources, such as compute instances, storage systems, and networking components, in an intuitive graphical format. This helps users quickly identify any potential issues or dependencies within their infrastructure.
Dependency Management
Dependency management helps specify the order in which resources are created and configured, which ensures that all resources are created in the correct order. This is especially useful when dealing with complex infrastructure that requires multiple resources to be configured in a particular sequence.
Terraform feature flags
Terraform feature flags are a set of "flags" or configuration settings that enable or disable certain features in Terraform. By default, all features are enabled, but users can disable specific features if they wish. Examples of feature flags include the ability to enable or disable remote state, the ability to enable or disable the use of modules, and the ability to enable or disable the use of third-party providers. Feature flags are designed to give users more control over the features that are available in Terraform.
Variables
With variables, you can store and reuse values across different parts of their infrastructure, which helps reduce the amount of manual configuration that needs to be done.
Outputs
Outputs can be used to store the results of a Terraform plan, such as the IP addresses of newly created compute instances or the endpoint for a new database.
Remote execution
Remote execution serves to run Terraform plans from a remote server, rather than running them locally on their own machines. This allows users to manage their resources without needing to install Terraform on their local machines.
Workspaces
Workspaces help to store multiple versions of the same infrastructure, such as a staging and production environment. This allows users to easily switch between different versions of their infrastructure and make changes without affecting other environments.
DevOps Tools
Terraform is also integrated with a number of popular DevOps tools, such as GitHub, Jenkins, and CircleCI. This feature enables developers to automate their deployments, ensuring that their infrastructure is always up-to-date and secure.
