Introduction

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as a code (IaC) tool that enables you to define, create, and manage infrastructure in a declarative manner. With Terraform, you can describe your infrastructure in code, and then use that code to create, update, or destroy your infrastructure. One of the key features of Terraform is its ability to use input and output variables to enable greater flexibility and reuse of your infrastructure code.
