HashiCorp has recently launched a new cloud automation tool, Terraform Cloud, in order to help simplify the process of orchestrating and automating cloud-infrastructure deployments. The tool is designed to make cloud automation easier to achieve, without requiring in-depth technical knowledge. The goal of the tool is to enable users to configure, provision, and manage their cloud infrastructure using an intuitive user interface.
Terraform Cloud helps users efficiently define, configure and deploy cloud infrastructure across multiple cloud providers. It provides a secure, reliable, and easy-to-use environment to manage one's cloud resources. The tool enables users to version, track, and collaborate in real-time, making cloud automation simpler than ever before.
Terraform Cloud is built on top of HashiCorp's popular open-source tool Terraform, which currently has over 30 million downloads. This solution makes it easier and faster to deploy workloads to any cloud with Terraform's built-in cloud-agnostic provider structure. Terraform provides users with access to hundreds of cloud services, including storage, databases, Containers, and other infrastructure components.
The solution also makes it possible to quickly and easily provision compute resources, such as Amazon EC2 or Google Compute Engine. And it can be used with existing infrastructure as code. By creating re-usable infrastructure as code templates, users can deploy their applications to multiple infrastructure environments with minimal effort.
Another benefit of Terraform Cloud is its ability to help users control their cloud expenses more efficiently. By managing and tracking cloud resources, users can save money by reducing their cloud costs. Terraform Cloud helps with cost optimization by providing detailed expense reports that can help users identify and eliminate wasted cloud costs.
The last major benefit of Terraform Cloud is its built-in automation capabilities. This cloud automation solution allows users to easily automate the provisioning, configuration, and deployment of cloud infrastructure. It also includes automated tests and deployments, allowing users to more quickly and easily deploy their applications to the cloud.
Overall, Terraform Cloud provides users with a powerful and user-friendly platform that simplifies the process of orchestrating and automating cloud deployments. It’s designed to help users to define and maintain their cloud infrastructure reliably, securely, and cost-effectively. With Terraform Cloud, users can easily create their cloud environment, with minimal effort and cost, and without requiring advanced technical expertise.
