Terraform Github Action

Terraform is an open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool developed by HashiCorp that enables teams to define, provision, and manage infrastructure across multiple cloud providers using a declarative configuration language.

It is widely adopted for managing cloud resources in a predictable, repeatable, and scalable manner.

🔹 Key Features of Terraform

• Declarative IaC: Define desired infrastructure state using HCL.
• Multi-Cloud Support: AWS, Azure, GCP, Kubernetes, and more.
• Reusable Modules: Share and reuse infrastructure components.
• State Management: Tracks infrastructure state for consistency.
• Provider Ecosystem: Thousands of official and community providers.
• CI/CD Integration: Works seamlessly with automation pipelines.
