Use case
Infrastructure as Code
Infrastructure as code to enable and accelerate cloud adoption
Challenge
Manual provisioning is slow and cumbersome
Provisioning infrastructure through point-and-click GUI’s or custom scripts is slow, error-prone, inefficient, and doesn't scale.
Solution
Automate infrastructure provisioning on any cloud
With HashiCorp Terraform, provisioning and security can be automated based on infrastructure and policy as code. Infrastructure and policies are codified, shared, managed, and executed within a workflow that is consistent across all infrastructure.
