Fantastic tool to easily and safely deploy the services using just configuration files
What do you like best about the product?
This tool allows the users to build, deploy and manipulate infrastructure efficiently. The coding is minimal and could be written into a configuration file using ami(Amazon Machine Image). This gives us the ability to create new cloud accounts very quickly, hence time efficient. This is actually very easy to maintain. Main advantage is its reliability to use resources efficiently and reusability.
What do you dislike about the product?
The documentation that is present online is pretty much complex and sometimes I do face difficulty while configuring for multiple could services.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
This is a automation tool that is capable to manage multiple cloud requirements. It is beneficial as it is real quick to setup an whole new environment in few minutes with just configuration file. The people who formally used CLIs that requires a lot of care but terraform setup is quite straight and easy.
Terraform
What do you like best about the product?
It helped to deploy infrastructure quickly and reliably.it allows to provide infrastructure on any cloud provider and handle configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike about Terraform .
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It helps us to deploy and manage our azure infrastructure as a code.it handles low level components like storage,etc. and high level components like DNS entries,etc. as well.
Best tool to manage and automate the infrastructure
What do you like best about the product?
The best is its main features only that the automation capabilities where we can spinup the infrastructure in a click and for each and every resources there are documentation and code which we can refer there
What do you dislike about the product?
The only thing i dislike is the importing capabilities wher3 its possible but still its not that perfect when it comes to importing when the state file is stored in remote
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Hashicorp terraform is solving the main issues that once we setup the code then we can spinup the entire infrastructure in a click and don't need to go and do it manually
Terraform for configuration deployments
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform helps to deploy the configurations on to the cloud. Terraform with Shepherd help in continuous deployments of various versions of applications to cloud
What do you dislike about the product?
Terraform is not easy like java, python. It needs additional and new skills to write the terraform scripts which indeed takes time to understand the available modules etc
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Terraform is quick to deploy any changes on to cloud and also to automate the process for zero downtime. With help of terraform and shepherd we can setup the automations to deploy any additonal changes
Terraform a Automation Tool
What do you like best about the product?
- Terraform known as Infrastructure as a code means your infra automation tools. i am writing terraform template to automate my cloud infra resources. very easy to use and save a lot of time to do the same thing in manual. in my organization, I am using this tool for AWS & Azure cloud.
What do you dislike about the product?
as of now nothing as a cron I have ever faced in using terraform, but you need to take a backup of the state file. while using terraform all the important data stored in state file so you need to take care of this things.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In my current organization, I am on leave, so my team member wants to create the one resource in cloud infra but he does not know how to create on terraform so he does the same things manually. when I came on leave I saw there are no resources created in the cloud but not using terraform. so that time I am using the terraform import command this command is used for the your existing resources integrate with terraform.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Terraform is Automation tools and needs to save your time and cost then please start using terraform.
Handy tool for Infrastructure provisioning
What do you like best about the product?
Contains multiple providers for the cloud platform of your choice to provision your resources.
Hashicorp language is not so complex and easy to remember in comparison to yaml language
Provisioning and destroying of your infrastructure with a single use of the command.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is limited support and provider for Microsoft Azure Cloud in comparison to AWS Cloud.
Most of the times provisioning(terraform apply) is stuck in a loop and never gets completed.
Not any more cons I know of or faced so far.

Might come in handy if looking for faster infrastructure cloud automation
A Great IAC tool
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform is very extensible using plugins(providers).
This extensibility ensures that it can be used to provision infrastructure across different cloud vendors, and even on-premise.
It can be easily embedded into CI pipelines.
Terraform configuration uses the HCL language which is very powerful compared to other IAC tools which use plain YAML/JSON.
Terraform also gives you the ability to review the changes it is going to apply and even estimate the cost of the infrastructure before it applies the changes.

What do you dislike about the product?
The only nitpick I have is: Terraform stores sensitive values in plan text in state files. This can certainly be remedied using Vault - another product from the same company, but it would have been great to be able to obscure/mask these sensitive values in the free Terraform version as well.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We use Terraform for provisioning Infrastructure across different Cloud vendors.
Benefits:
One tool works for different cloud vendors.
It also allows developing reusable modules and utilizing them - reducing the work of DevOps engineers across different projects.
Terraform also allows us to query remote data sources S3 buckets, even HTTP APIs etc. So Terraform can utilize different datasources when provisioning infrastructure. This ensures that the infrastructure is always in sync with those datasources.

An IaC platform for all major cloud services
What do you like best about the product?
The JSON based code structure for infrastructure management is easy to learn and implement. The many providers that are available makes it easier to manage many cloud services.
What do you dislike about the product?
Terraform is good for working straight forward management approach, but still needs a lot of improvement in conditional management of resources, and updating providers.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure management of AWS and Azure cloud services
Recommendations to others considering the product:
For IaC requirements, without doubt go for it. It's the best available and it's open source.
Use of terraform
What do you like best about the product?
Terraform is the best infrastructure management tool which can automate all the environments depending on the cloud providers that we use in the current industry
What do you dislike about the product?
Hasicorp terraform doesnot have good security features with free version. We need to have enterprise version needed in cases of best security to enable which is bit expensive
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
In our current environment we are using complete aws cloud and we automated everything with terraform resources like ec2 autoscaling loadbalancers postgres rds sns and all the microservices using terraform.it is one time to job to write the code and will push the code to all environments in no time.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Initially it feels tough learning terraform scripting once you have good knowledge on cloud services like aws azure it will be easy to correlate thing with terraform and learn easily. I would strongly recommend to use terraform to ease your work

What do you dislike about the product?
- Would be great if there is some support for development testing
- In some cases, resource creation fails even though the plan was successful (it would be great if the errors could be identified at the plan state)
- Refactoring code isn't easy (resources/modules cannot be renamed).
- Auto-Rollback on failures is not supported.
