Terraform is an open-source infrastructure automation and orchestration tool designed to efficiently configure and manage cloud infrastructure resources. Volcano Engine provides developer tools based on open-source Terraform that you can use to securely and efficiently preview, configure, and manage cloud infrastructure and resources. For more information, see Terraform.

Terraform advantages

Infrastructure as code

By using advanced configuration syntax for resource description, infrastructure can be codified. By controlling the resource versions defined in Terraform, cloud resources are controllable, manageable, and traceable.

Automated infrastructure management

Terraform configuration templates support configuration planning and automatic execution, while maintaining the state of infrastructure resources. This eliminates manual work and errors.

Lower handover costs

Using Terraform facilitates the handoff of operation and maintenance (O&M) tasks, reducing issues such as information gaps and cloud resource waste caused by inefficient handovers.
