Overall Satisfaction with HashiCorp Terraform
We are using HashiCorp Terraform CLI extensively in our platform for creating and managing AWS and Kubernetes resources. HashiCorp Terraform helps us to create multiple resources quickly within minutes. We are using it to differentiate configurations for different environments thereby helping us to manage our resources easily. Modules have also helped us in creating dynamic reusable templates for resource creations.
Pros
- AWS and GCP resource provisioning like VM, IAM roles and users, EKS clisters
- State management for maintaining existing resources and have a single source of truth.
- Reusable codebase for different configurations using HashiCorp Terraform modules
Cons
- Infrastructure Testing using native framework or mock tests
- Importing multiple resources at a time
- Documentation for providers and corresponding APIs can be improved
- Greatly reduced the time to create networking resources from 3 days to 10 mins.
- Cost optimization of around 40% by cleaning up unused resources automatically.
HashiCorp Terraform has Cloud agnostic capability to use with different cloud vendors and the ease of creating the code with minimal effort.
