Automation of Cloud Services
What do you like best about the product?
Once we did the script for our cloud infrastructure, just one click is enough to create or delete the whole infrastructure in Cloud. The beauty of Terraform is we can manage services across multiple cloud providers from a single Terraform configuration file...
What do you dislike about the product?
Just 2 weeks ago they brought a new free plan for their Terraform Cloud service, which limits our service provisioning on the cloud. If they bring back their old free plan it would be better to manage cloud services from terraform Cloud...
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The first time in Cloud we could create services manually from the console and manage multiple services manually got a lot of human errors and sometimes we forgot to remove some services and at the end of the month, we could get surprised by the bill.
Then, IAC comes in Cloud. For AWS they bring a new service called CloudFormation, which uses a simple language YAML and is easy to combine a set of services for an Infrastructure.
But when multi-cloud comes in we cannot use Cloudformation across multiple services.
Here comes Terraform, we can able to manage an infinite number of services across more than 150 cloud providers within a single configuration. I really love this feature. And one more thing is we can write modules for cloud services to ignore rewriting configuration and also we can use other person's modules in our configurations...

Difficult to learn
What do you like best about the product?
It is good that we can save the infrastructure as code, so it is easy to deploy even if something goes wrong.
What do you dislike about the product?
I peronally find it very difficult to learn and don't really understand it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It automates the infrastructure by deploying it as code.
Terraform, best thing for people working in operations since sliced bread
What do you like best about the product?
It gives me the ability to spin up or spin down infrastructure in a repeatable fashion without the worry that if someone manually deleted or changed something that I won't be able to recover from it. Helps me to repeat certain things by writing reusable modules.
What do you dislike about the product?
There isn't really anything I dislike besides the fact that if there is a bug in a terraform provider that I start realising how hard life without terraform really is.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Building a cloud based platform that can scale. Where similiar teams have similiar applications then we provided them with all they need to deploy their app to the cloud using code.
Reviewing Terraform Hashicorp
What do you like best about the product?
I like the fact that HCL is a very simple and intuitive language to write, I like the fact that the deployment mechanisms are also simple and easy to understand. I also like the fact it is easy to deploy and review configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dont like the fact that you have to use a seperate mechnism to manage state files especially if you are hoping to collaborate on terraform and build out commponent with your team
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Terraform is enabling us to define configuration very easily and very quickly, it also enabling us to manage deployments, manage infrastructure and to ensure that what we have running is a representation of the prodduction environment
Best Infrastructure as code tool ever ?
What do you like best about the product?
I've been using Terraform for almost one year and here are some things that I like about Terraform
1:easy to learn.
2:Rich documentation and strong community support.
3:easy to implement.
4: Easy Integrations with different tools.
5: it supports multiple clouds.
6:Terraform generates execution plans to show you exactly what changes will be made before they are applied, reducing the risk of unintended changes.

What do you dislike about the product?
While working, I've noticed some flaws those are :
1: It does not support programming language.
2: It does not support importing code from other IaC tools.
3: We have to manage our state files.
4: Debugging code is challenging. Especially when working with complex modules or resource types.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Previous tools are very outdated now, and they have lots of drawbacks when it comes to Infrastructure automation; without Terraform, we would have to do all the Infrastructure deployment manually multiple times repeatedly, which was a kind of headache, but with Terraform, we can deploy any resource within seconds and as many times we want . Terraform can manage large complex enterprise-level configurations without any problem, which has helped me in my work.
Incredible tool
What do you like best about the product?
I have to be fair - I can not imagine a modern software development company that does not use Terraform. There are almost no other tools that have the same abilities as terraform. I mean, there is a cloudformation, but I do not know who use it anymore
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation is too complex for beginners, lack of proper good-practices handbook/whitepaper
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Write your infrastructure as a code, declarative approach
Best tool to automate the creation, updates, backups, etc. of artifacts within New Relic.
What do you like best about the product?
Allows you to integrate with your CI/CD workflows and automate the creation of alert conditions in New Relic. Once created, it becomes very simple to update and serves as a backup in case any unwanted changes are applied manually.
What do you dislike about the product?
I have not found a downside to using this tool while managing alert conditions, policies, workflows, etc. within New Relic. It's both beneficial for small and big organizations and helps have optimum control over these key artifacts.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It saves a ton of time when we have the need to create either alert conditions or workflows. It literately can create 200 workflows in milliseconds saving all the manual effort. It also solves the problem of having a backup for any critical alert conditions in case they are accidentally deleted or modified.
Having strong experience in Terraform and Cloudformation.
What do you like best about the product?
As infrastructure as code, Terraform is more compatible and flexible for multi-cloud compared with cloudformation.
What do you dislike about the product?
some functions like if-else and switch does not support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
They keep upgrading their features like Terraform can integrate with AWS CDK and so on.
Best IaC tool for cloud operation
What do you like best about the product?
It is useful in my case to build code and organize modules in order to fast deploy changes in cloud infrastructure.
What do you dislike about the product?
In its website should involve real cases as practical guide to help new engineers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Create reproducible infrastructure easily.
terraform
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform for DevOps performs orchestration configuration management much better than Ansible or Puppet.
What do you dislike about the product?
not many error handling details, and weak doing rollback
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
