Infrastructure as code has transformed the way we build and manage our applications, and cloud hosting has paved the way by giving us the power to spin up and tear down entire environments nearly instantly with only a few keystrokes at the command line. There are many tools that can help tackle infrastructure as code and they range from cloud specific tools like Azure Resource Manager Templates to open-source cloud or host agnostic tools like HashiCorp Terraform.

If you haven’t already looked into infrastructure as code, there is no better time than now.

Offerings like ARM Templates or cloud specific infrastructure as code tools work to deploy and manage infrastructure exclusively on the cloud hosting provider they were built for.

HashiCorp Terraform is an open-source tool that uses a provider and resource model to manage infrastructure as code.
