Terraform the great IAAC tool
What do you like best about the product?
First of all i would like to thank hashi corp for the getting this tool in to the market
The reason for this statement is
I really like the tool the way it organised in terms of setting up the infrastructure
I am part of the multiple projects were we use aws and gcp cloud provides for my projects.
Initially we use the AWS cloud formation in the aws cloud and similarly deployment manager in the gcp, were i could find very difficult using those, it has the different interface and the usage is completely different, Were when i start using the terraform i really loved it the way it works and the options it has i.e. providers, resources and etc and it is easy to write and understanding it uses the HCL(Hashi corp configuration Language)
Here are the below attracts more
1) Mentioning the Resources and providers
2) We can Destroy the infrastructure at a ease way
3) Liked the Desired state and the current state, i.e. when any manual changes happen in the console level and when we check using terraform refresh it updates in the tfstate file, this is basically the current state and easily know what are the changes it was done
4) As per the experience i have and faced in providing the version number while implementing the terraform,
Example : when we are setting the dev env the provider version is different and when setting up the production the provider version is different so it might break the chain and some resources might have the higher update.
5) It gives us the option to check even in the 3 rd party types and HCl is verifying those too.
6) were we used the from a file concept i.e. we use main.tf, variables.tf and dev.tfars similarlly qa.tfvars and etc.
7) We use to enable the logs for tracking purpose
8) Using terraform we can taint the resources and unwanted things can be easily destroyed.
9) It has the good feature of lock state
10) We can add the new resources in the middle of the working env were it does not effect the present infrastructure

What do you dislike about the product?
Only one thing in terms of dis like is the concept called import
Eg : if any one set up the any resources and if we want the same in terms of the HCL we have to write by checking the resources and it is tricky and not a good practice too. i feel there is a next release i.e. terraform 0.13 which is releasing on Aug 12th 2020
Expecting that this new feature should automate like entering terraform import should get the existing resources or infrastructure.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
As i said Initially i was using the aws cloud formation for setting up the infrastructure in AWS, Similarly using deployment manager in GCP, So it avoids using the multiple tools and made it easy with the HCL.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Folks, If you want to set up the infrastructure then think Terraform, it really reduce our effort in lots and ease of setting up the things and exposure also great once the engineer habituate with this tool def. it solves many issues and made it simple.
I really thank full to hashi corp for getting this kind of tool in the market and made is success.

It's very easy to use and learn. Useful across all cloud platform.
What do you dislike about the product?
Documentation can be modified a bit. This will help to beginners.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am able to deploy VMs very consistent manner.
Versioning your infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
You can version you infrastructure along with your code. So rollbacks are easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
There terraform files Aren't programmatic and are based on desired state. Them being programmatic can help add additional functionality.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automating acquiring of resources and their management at one single place along with added benefits
My experience with terraform has been pretty good so far
What do you like best about the product?
Shorter learning curve, if you are already familiar similar stuff like CloudFormation.
What do you dislike about the product?
I think more and better quality tutorial and courses would definitely help
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Automate my deployments on AWS
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would highly recommend using Terraform for all cloud computing professionals. Although I use it only for AWS right now, but, I believe it will be much easier to switch to any other cloud provider with help of Terraform
Great infrastructure provison and management tool

HCl script language can be more easy to write.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Deploying and managing infrastructure on cloud. Easy to understand.
create cloud Infrastructure in minimum time

What do you dislike about the product?
None as per now. Feature releases could be less frequent so that end client could do required version based changes.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
1) Automation of cloud based infrastructure.
2) Cloud resources creation in less time by using variables and data within workspaces.

Terraform go automation deployment with CI / CD Infra as Code
What do you like best about the product?
A declarative way of coding is the new norm of its intuitive, small learning curve and easy to adopt and integrate in an organization moving towards not only with continuous integration and continuous development with automation. Terraform has extensive documentation and community support a lot of medium articles and StackOverflow community. terraform easy install and multi os support are the key things and easy for all Dev Ops to work. Also terraform being light it is not many cycles we need to invest on setup and installation of terraforming itself, training resources, and youtube videos make training easier.
What do you dislike about the product?
Terraform documentation does not list examples and scenarios covered in their official page and does require multiple search cycles which delays the learning cycle and also exhausts. If terraform can create sample end-to-end simple use-cases like how to setup databases on different cloud environments this list can also be like setup network or setup storage etc., which are typical to cloud use-cases there are plenty in other use-cases.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Ability to automate the setup of Software as a Services and Platform as a Services, leverage simple terraform init plan, and apply. It has been a very good experience in automating a lot of setup and configuration it is very intuitive also more from the cloud perspective it has been pretty fast to have any infrastructure up and running and also a pleasure to automate in the Continous Integration and Continuous Development Area
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Continuous Integration and Continuous Development
Best open source devops tools for IAC
What do you like best about the product?
Syntax, easy to preview changes before applying, collaboration.
What do you dislike about the product?
Language tricks you sometime have to use to achieve what you want
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Versioning infrastructure state, collaboration on a cloud account, infrastructure clean and fast build
