Is Python used in Terraform?
The question is about Terraform
Python is not used directly within Terraform, as Terraform relies on a dedicated language for its configuration, HashiCorp Configuration Language, HCL. However, Python may be used in combination with Terraform in several ways. For instance, it is a common approach for developers to make use of Python scripts to automate Terraform workflows, which range from execution of Terraform commands to even processing infrastructure data before or after provisioning. Besides that, extensibility in Terraform allows developers to create providers and modules that can be managed or orchestrated by automation tools based on Python. While Python is not a core part of Terraform, it is very often used for complementary scripts and tools which extend the functionality of Terraform in the wider automation and DevOps workflows.
