Terraform in Real Life

4 min

Terraform is generally used by people responsible for platforms and infrastructure:

  • cloud engineers;
  • DevOps or SRE teams;
  • platform engineers;
  • system and network administrators;
  • cloud security teams;
  • developers authorized to manage the infrastructure of their application.

Responsibilities vary with the size of the organization you work in. In a small company, you may be the only one writing and applying the code. In a large organization, a platform team builds approved modules, and you, in a product team, consume those modules without having to write everything from scratch.

Here are six enterprise scenarios where Terraform comes into play. For each, spot what Terraform does, and what it does not do.

Preview — the rest of the lesson is for enrolled readers.
