In a universe of various Cloud technologies (planets) like AWS, Azure, Digital Ocean etcetera, I would say they named this product right. Terraform typically means transforming (a planet) so as to resemble the earth, especially so that it can support human life. Terraform outruns them for the right reasons. It is always a tough choice to choose the right product from this. Almost all of them are OpenSource as well backed by a large community.

There are so many tools in the market helps you to achieve the IaC. What tools are used in Infrastructure as Code Thanks to IaC.!! it helps us set up even a complicated infrastructure in a short span of time. We need something powerful to help us create instances/Infra in a single click. While the world is moving towards containers and desired state and auto-scale. It takes hours of productivity and creates a huge delay for the server setup or provisioning The traditional approach is to build the Virtual machine and install these tools one after another. For example, Let's suppose You want to create an infrastructure of LAMP (Linux Apache MySql PHP) along with some other Linux tools like nc, curl, Openssl etc Infrastructure as Code often referred to as IaC, is where the developer or system admins write code to achieve the end state of the infrastructure or server they desire.
