Why use Terraform instead of AWS?
The question is about Terraform
Terraform is preferred for multi-cloud environments because of its flexibility, while AWS CloudFormation is limited to managing AWS-specific resources. On the other hand, Terraform can manage a wide variety of cloud providers and is cloud-agnostic, providing a consistent interface to provision and manage infrastructure across multiple providers, such as Azure, Google Cloud, and on-premise environments. This becomes very helpful in organizations pursuing a multi-cloud strategy or are considering resource migration across providers. Other benefits of using Terraform include HCL-a configuration language that provides syntactic clarity and a modular approach to manage infrastructure. It makes configurations easy to version, reuse, and share. As an open-source tool, Terraform also has the benefit of an active community and an extensive library of reusable modules that provide far greater levels of flexibility and customization than its native AWS tools.
