Terraform Enterprise

Overall Satisfaction with Terraform, by HashiCorp

Terraform is currently being used to deploy infrastructure to GCP. We are mindful of the fact that some components might need other cloud providers and as Terraform is a cross-platform tool it is easier to manage the infrastructure with Terraform. It helps to iterate quickly.
  • Supports a lot of other infrastructure providers like AWS, GCP, Datadog.
  • It provides the building blocks for quite a few resources
  • Appreciate adding the Terraform graph command
  • The command Terraform plan can be more sophisticated.
  • The language can be difficult for novice users
  • It is quite difficult to do major upgrades without breaking something
  • Terraform provides different ways to manage state
  • No major negative impact
Terraform was more preferred over Ansible as it is considerably more intutive.

Terraform is amazing when you have a cloud environment. You can spend time designing the config files but you can save a lot of time when you have to deploy the same environment multiple times. For experimental cases, Terraform can be easily used to spin up environments and easily destroy them.
