Terraform Cloud Agents allow Terraform Cloud to communicate with isolated, private, or on-premises infrastructure. By deploying lightweight agents within a specific network segment, you can establish a simple connection between your environment and Terraform Cloud which allows for provisioning operations and management. This is useful for on-premises infrastructure types such as vSphere, Nutanix, OpenStack, enterprise networking providers, and anything you might have in a protected enclave.
The agent only requires outbound connectivity to Terraform Cloud, enabling private networks to remain secure and typically requiring no special networking configuration or exceptions.
Terraform Enterprise
Terraform Enterprise supports Terraform Cloud Agents. Refer to Terraform Cloud Agents on TFE for Terraform Enterprise specific documentation and requirements.
