📚 What is Terraform?

Terraform is a tool by HashiCorp that lets you write infrastructure as code using simple .tf files. It works with many cloud providers like AWS, Azure, and GCP.

Key Terraform features:

• Declarative syntax
• Version control with Git
• Reusable modules
• State management
• Plan & preview changes before applying

☁️ How Terraform Integrates with AWS

Terraform uses the hashicorp/aws provider to create and manage AWS resources like:

• EC2 instances
• VPCs, subnets, route tables
• S3 buckets
• IAM roles and policies
• And more...

Terraform authenticates with AWS using:

• aws configure (local credentials)
• ~/.aws/credentials file
• Environment variables (AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID, etc.)
• IAM roles (in CI/CD or EC2)
