Why is Terraform useful?
- [Instructor] Now that we've discussed the basics of Terraform, let's go over the benefits. Terraform is a cloud agnostic and cross-platform infrastructure as a code tool. This allows you to define both cloud and on-premises resources utilizing the configuration files. This allows you to simplify the management of almost any infrastructure, giving you more leverage in your environments through standardized components. These standardized components and configurations are called modules. This allows you to break up your Terraform code into reusable parts. With modules, you're given the ability to leverage thousands of publicly available modules within the Terraform registry or you can write your own to better fit the needs of your specific environment or organization.
