Terraform Cloud is HashiCorp’s managed service offering and eliminates the heavy lifting for practitioners, teams, and organizations to use Terraform in production.

Bitbucket Pipelines, an integrated CI/CD tool within Bitbucket Cloud that enables developers to execute builds right from within Bitbucket, recently introduced an integration with OpenID Connect and AWS.
