Terraform Components Crash Course

Terraform is still the dominant player in infrastructure provisioning automation, and it’s not hard to see why. Here are some quick facts to set the stage:

• It has over 4000+ providers, connecting to everything from AWS and Azure to GitHub and Datadog.

• Terraform’s Registry boasts 18,000+ modules, making reusable configurations a breeze.

• The community is massive, with over 43,000 stars on GitHub—a testament to its popularity and reliability.

💡 Fun fact: The name “Terraform” comes from science fiction, meaning "making a planet habitable"—pretty fitting for a tool that transforms infrastructure, right?

Yet, as simple as Terraform seems, its ecosystem is vast. To make it easier to navigate, I created the attached diagram, breaking it into 10 key components.

Terraform’s ecosystem is powerful, but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.

Use this self explanatory diagram as your cheat sheet to get a hold on Terraform.

Whether you’re starting small or building enterprise-grade infra, Terraform’s got you covered! 💪
