Terraform

Terraform 1.14.3 on Ubuntu 24.04 with free maintenance support by kCloudHubs. This is a repackaged open-source software product wherein additional charges apply for support.

Terraform is a popular open-source Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool developed by HashiCorp. It allows teams to define, provision, and manage infrastructure using simple, human-readable configuration files. By turning infrastructure into code, Terraform helps developers and system administrators automate deployments and manage cloud resources consistently and repeatably across providers such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and more.

This offering is delivered as a pre-configured Ubuntu 24.04 image and is optimised for the AWS Cloud Marketplace. It can be launched fastest on the Amazon EC2, giving customers complete control over their AWS environment, including networking, IAM roles, security groups, and infrastructure state.

Terraform on AWS Marketplace

Terraform is widely adopted for infrastructure automation on AWS. The AWS Marketplace offers several ready-to-run options, including AMIs, integration services, and enterprise-scale accelerators eg. include a production-ready Terraform AMI backed by kCloudHubs, Docker-based services such as the Terraform MCP Server for querying providers and modules from the Terraform Registry, and enterprise DevOps accelerators from Cloud Posse that deliver multi-account AWS landing zones and governance frameworks.

Common Capabilities

All of these Terraform based solutions support Terraform 1.14.3 execution, remote state management, and integration with CI/CD pipelines. They are available as AMIs or containerised services that can be deployed directly into an AWS account, making it easy to get started while maintaining operational consistency.

Differences

Some options provide a secure, pre hardened Ubuntu setup that is ready to run on EC2 and fits compliance-heavy environments. Others are lightweight, API-based services that help you find Terraform providers and modules without actually running deployments. Enterprise solutions take it a step further by offering ready-made multi-account AWS setups, GitOps pipelines, built-in security rules, and compliance controls.

Strengths

A hardened Terraform AMI is ideal for teams that want a secure, ready-to-use runtime with minimal setup. The Terraform MCP Server is a good fit for developers who need dynamic access to registry data in container-based environments. Enterprise DevOps accelerators from Cloud Posse are well-suited for large organisations that want standardised infrastructure, governance, and automation at scale.

Technical Highlights

• Describe your infrastructure in simple, readable files so deployments are consistent and repeatable every time
• Supports a wide range of providers, enabling multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud management
• Generates execution plans to show changes before they are applied
• Maintains state files to track infrastructure over time for predictable results
• Optimized for deployment on AWS EC2 via the AWS Cloud Marketplace

With Terraform 1.14.3 on Ubuntu 24.04, organisations can automate infrastructure with confidence, improve collaboration across teams, and scale their AWS cloud environments while choosing the level of support that best fits their needs through kCloudHubs.
