The core Terraform workflow consists of three stages:
- **Write:** You define resources, which may be across multiple cloud providers and services. For example, you might create a configuration to deploy an application on virtual machines in a virtual private cloud (VPC) network with security groups and a load balancer.
- **Write:** You define resources, which may be across multiple cloud providers and services. For example, you might create a configuration to deploy an application on virtual machines in a Virtual Private Cloud (VPC) network with security groups and a load balancer.
- **Plan:** Terraform creates an execution plan describing the infrastructure it will create, update, or destroy based on the existing infrastructure and your configuration.
- **Apply:** On approval, Terraform performs the proposed operations in the correct order, respecting any resource dependencies. For example, if you update the properties of a VPC and change the number of virtual machines in that VPC, Terraform will recreate the VPC before scaling the virtual machines.

### Track your infrastructure
Terraform generates a plan and prompts for your approval before modifying your infrastructure. It also keeps track of your real infrastructure in a [state file](/language/state), which acts as a source of truth for your environment. Terraform uses the state file to determine the changes to make to your infrastructure so that it will match your configuration.
Terraform generates a plan and prompts you for your approval before modifying your infrastructure. It also keeps track of your real infrastructure in a [state file](/language/state), which acts as a source of truth for your environment. Terraform uses the state file to determine the changes to make to your infrastructure so that it will match your configuration.
### Automate changes
Terraform configuration files are declarative, meaning that they describe the end state of your infrastructure. You do not need to write step-by-step instructions to create resources because Terraform handles the underlying logic. Terraform builds a resource graph to determine resource dependencies and creates or modifies non-dependent resources in parallel. This allows Terraform to build resources efficiently.

Terraform builds a resource graph to determine resource dependencies and creates or modifies non-dependent resources in parallel. This allows Terraform to provision resources efficiently.
### Standardize configurations
Terraform supports reusable configuration components called [modules](/docs/language/modules) that define configurable collections of infrastructure, saving time and enforcing best practices. You can use publicly available modules from the Terraform Registry, or write your own.

### Collaborate
Since your configuration is codified, you can commit it to a version control system (VCS) and use [Terraform Cloud](/intro/terraform-editions#terraform-cloud) to efficiently manage Terraform workflows across teams. Terraform Cloud runs Terraform in a consistent, reliable environment and provides secure access to shared state and secret data, role-based access controls, a private registry for sharing both modules and providers, and more.

Terraform can interact with Software Defined Networks (SDNs) to automatically configure the network according to the needs of the applications running in it. This lets you move from a ticket-based workflow to an automated one, reducing deployment times.
For example, when a service registers with [HashiCorp Consul](https://www.consul.io/), [Consul-Terraform-Sync](https://www.consul.io/docs/nia) can automatically generate Terraform configuration to expose appropriate ports and adjust network settings for any SDN that has an associated Terraform provider. Network Infrastructure Automation (NIA) allows you to safely approve the changes that your applications require, without having to manually translate tickets from developers into the changes you think their applications need.

## Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open-source workload scheduler for containerized applications. Terraform lets you both deploy a Kubernetes cluster and manage its resources (e.g., pods, deployments, services, etc.). You can also use the [Kubernetes Operator for Terraform](https://github.com/hashicorp/terraform-k8s) to manage cloud and on-prem infrastructure through a Kubernetes custom resource definition (CRD) and Terraform Cloud.

## Parallel Environments
You may have staging or QA environments that you use to test new applications before releasing them in production. As the production environment grows larger and more complex, it can be increasingly difficult to maintain an up-to-date environment for each stage in the development process. Terraform lets you rapidly spin up and decommission infrastructure for development, test, QA, and production. Using Terraform to create disposable environments as needed is more cost-efficient than maintaining each one indefinitely.
