Introduction

I've been working with Drupal since 2015 so I've got a pretty good grasp on it and I feel I can confidently advise a client on how best to utilize it.

What is Terraform

Terraform is a CLI tool that allows you as system administrators, developers, etc. to build your infrastructure via declarative configuration files. This approach is commonly referred to as "Infrastructure as code" (IaC), and there are many such tools and implementations offered by some of the largest cloud providers and enterprise focused companies. For example Amazon has Cloudformation, Microsoft has Azure Automation, and Red Hat provides the Ansible automation platform.
