Terrafrom and Infrastructure as Code
With the availability of cloud APIs that allow users to provision infrastructure via web calls. The concept of infrastructure as code was created and allows cloud users to handle any cloud infrastructure operation as they would with source code for their applications, This has many great advantages an implementation of this is Terraform an open-source infrastructure as code command line tool, that allows creating of large cloud architectures via declarative configuration files. It also allows those configuration files to be versioned using standard version control means like git. Via its simplicity lets us setup and tear down cloud architectures on demand. Terraform supports all 3 (AWS, Azure, Google cloud) big cloud providers. To get started follow these guides: https://learn.hashicorp.com/terraform?utm_source=terraform_io&utm_content=terraform_io_hero
