What is the difference between Terraform and Jenkins?
The question is about Terraform
Terraform and Jenkins belong to the DevOps ecosystem and each fits into different purposes. Terraform is an IaC tool, used for defining, provisioning, and managing cloud and on-premises infrastructure. This allows the consistent, automated setup of resources across multiple environments. Jenkins is a continuous integration/continuous deployment tool that automates the build, test, and deployment of application code. Where Terraform focuses on automating infrastructure management, Jenkins orchestrates the software development lifecycle, which includes compiling code, running tests, and deploying software. The two often go together, whereby Jenkins will normally trigger Terraform in order to provision infrastructures as part of an automated deployment pipeline. Thus, a very smooth workflow is created for deploying infrastructures along with their applications.
