Frequently Asked Questions
-
Terraform is used to provision and manage cloud infrastructure (VMs, networks, databases, Kubernetes clusters) using declarative configuration files. In Linux DevOps environments it typically manages AWS, GCP, or Azure resources, and is often combined with Ansible (for OS configuration) and Kubernetes (for workload management).
-
The HashiCorp Terraform Associate certification is widely recognised and demonstrates proficiency with Terraform fundamentals. It is particularly valuable for cloud engineering and DevOps roles, and many job postings list it as a preferred qualification. The certification validates knowledge of providers, state management, modules, and workspaces.
-
Terraform uses HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language), a domain-specific language, for writing infrastructure code. Pulumi uses general-purpose programming languages (Python, TypeScript, Go, C#) to define infrastructure. Both accomplish similar goals, but Pulumi appeals to developers who prefer using their existing language skills for infrastructure code.
-
Terraform supports all major cloud providers, AWS, GCP, Azure, DigitalOcean, Cloudflare, and many more, through a provider ecosystem. This makes it the preferred IaC tool for organisations working across multiple clouds or planning cloud migrations, as the same workflow and toolchain applies to all providers.
