The Terraform official AWS provider acts as an abstraction layer that lets Terraform configurations written in HCL define AWS services and infrastructure using code (IaC). Internally Terraform and the AWS provider handle authentication, and make the necessary AWS API calls to query, create, modify, and destroy the resources.
AWS is the world’s leading cloud platform, used by startups and large enterprises. AWS offers a wide range of services, including computing, storage, database, networking, analytics, machine learning, and artificial intelligence.
How to start building AWS infrastructure with Terraform: Terraform is an Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool used to provision and manage infrastructure. It helps define and deploy resources across various cloud providers using code, making it easier to maintain and scale infrastructure.
This Ansible AWS tutorial shows how to use Ansible and its dynamic inventory AWS plugin to provision the software and configuration of infrastructure that has been created with Terraform.
