Terraform Studio

Terraform is a leading infrastructure as code (IaC) cloud configuration tool. Not only is it open-source, but this highly scalable software also supports multiple cloud service providers. However, using Terraform at an enterprise-level comes with several challenges. To list a few: 

  • The code is manually written in HashiCorp configuration language (HCL), leading to lengthy cycle times and increased risks
  • Time-consuming to get started with the adoption
  • Lack of inbuilt mechanisms to ensure standards, compliance, and best practices

Our extension for Terraform provides a comprehensive solution for managing environments and infrastructure as code projects. The HCL code is automatically generated to increase standardization. It also ensures the developed infrastructure complies with organizational policies to maintain standards and adhere to the security compliance of an organization.>
