Terraform, in case you aren’t aware of it !!

Terraform is an infrastructure as a code tool that enables you to define your data centre resources using high-level configuration language and provision them across multiple clouds. Terraform supports AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, OpenStack, and more.

With Terraform, you can manage your Infrastructure as Code, meaning you can define your data center resources in version control and deploy them across multiple clouds with just a few clicks. Terraform makes it easy to provision and manage your cloud resources from a single platform.

If you’re looking for a way to simplify your cloud infrastructure management, Terraform is the perfect tool for the job.

Azure Terrafy enables users to quickly and easily import their existing Azure infrastructure into Terraform HCL, where they can then import it into Terraform.
