1. Allow users to automate infrastructure provisioning using reusable, shareable, human-readable configuration files
2. multi cloud deployment, microservices infra, managing diverse cloud resoruces, monitoring tools, self-service cluster, policy compliance, kubernetes,
3. A plugin that enable interaction with API
4. terraform {
required_providers {
azurerm = {
source = “hashicorp/azurerm”
version = “3.75.0”

Terraform is an Infrastructure Code which is used to automate many Infrastructure tasks. We can use Terraform to build; destroy resources in various cloud providers, such as in Azure and AWS in our scenario. Terraform providers are certified vendors which provides API to access there platform, so that terraform code we create can do it job. We can use the provide template and keep it under a project directory, and run the terraform init command from command line which will then reads the provider file and install the provider. Example code: terraform { required_providers { azurerm = { source = "hashicorp/azurerm" version = "3.75.0" } aws = { source = "hashicorp/aws" version = "5.20.0" } } } provider "azurerm" { # Configuration options } provider "aws" { # Configuration options }
