Overall Satisfaction with Terraform

It's a great IaC to develop your private/public cloud environment. It almost covers major devops tools and other provisioners which help to plan the complete pipeline in one framework. It's lightweight and easy to start the basic blocks and integrate. Features like backend and iterations are great options to maximize the scale of infrastructure.
  • Orchestration provision support
  • State backend support like swift
  • Debug support
  • Local testing
  • UI design and development always sticks when it comes to multiple or say 'n' number of same configurations.
  • It's very easy to download and execute
  • Provides cross platform support and it's reliable.
  • Terraform is a well contributed open source project but support is average
  • Coverage of various tools is great where only important functionalities were covered like in Chef
  • It provides the automation from various pieces but running the same from scripts/other external inputs would be great
  • Interpolations are supported but not well enough
  • Secret management is poor and needs support on special characters
