Terraform architecture and workflow
To make the most of Terraform and use it effectively to manage your cloud infrastructure, it’s important to have a good understanding of its architecture and workflow. Terraform follows a declarative approach to infrastructure management, where you describe the desired state of your infrastructure using configuration files, and it takes care of provisioning and configuring the necessary resources to achieve that state.
In this chapter, we’ll explore the key components of Terraform’s architecture and workflow, and provide a high-level overview of how Terraform works to manage infrastructure on cloud platforms such as AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Understanding these concepts will help you write more effective Terraform code and troubleshoot issues more easily.
