Infrastructure as code
-Terraform provides a common configuration to launch infrastructure — - from physical and virtual servers to email and DNS providers. Once launched, - Terraform safely and efficiently changes infrastructure as the configuration - is evolved.
-Simple file based configuration gives you a single view - of your entire infrastructure.
+Terraform enables you to safely and predictably create, change, and + improve production infrastructure. It is an open source tool that + codifies APIs into declarative configuration files that can be shared amongst team members, + treated as code, edited, reviewed, and versioned.

+Features
+Infrastructure as code
+Define infrastructure as code to increase operator productivity and transparency.
+
+ Collaborate & share
+Terraform configuration can be stored in version control, + shared, and collaborated on by teams of operators.
+Evolve your infrastructure
+Track the complete history of infrastructure versions.
+Automation friendly
+If it can be codified, it can be automated.
+ One safe workflow across providers
+Terraform provides an elegant user experience for + operators to safely and predictably make changes to infrastructure.
Combine Multiple Providers
+
+ 
+ Map resource dependencies
+Understand how a minor change could have potential cascading effects + across an infrastructure before executing that change. Terraform + builds a dependency graph from the configurations, and walks this + graph to generate plans, refresh state, and more.
+Separation of plan & apply
+Separating plans and applies reduces mistakes and uncertainty at + scale. Plans show operators what would happen, applies execute + changes.
+One workflow
+Use Terraform to create resources across all major infrastructure + providers (AWS, GCP, Azure, OpenStack, VMware, and more).
+Reproducible infrastructure
+Terraform lets operators easily use the same + configurations in multiple places to reduce mistakes and save time.
+
+ Environment parity
+Use the same Terraform configuration to provision identical staging, + QA, and production environments.
+Shareable modules
+Common Terraform configurations can be packaged as modules and used + across teams and organizations.
+Combine multiple providers consistently
Terraform allows you to effortlessly combine high-level system - providers with your own or with each other. Launch a server from - one cloud provider, add a DNS entry with its IP with a different - provider. Built-in dependency resolution means - things happen in the right order.

-Your configuration and state can be stored in version control, shared - and distributed among your team. Updates, scaling and modifications - will be planned first, so you can iterate with confidence.
-Examples
+Layering Resources
-- Use attributes from other resources to create - a layered infrastructure. Terraform handles ordering - resource creation automatically. +
Composing Resources
+Use attributes from other resources to create an infrastructure + composed of resources across multiple providers.
resource "digitalocean_droplet" "web" {
-name = "tf-web"
-size = "512mb"
-image = "centos-5-8-x32"
-region = "sfo1"
+name = "tf-web"
+size = "512mb"
+image = "centos-5-8-x32"
+region = "sfo1"
}
resource "dnsimple_record" "hello" {
-domain = "example.com"
-name = "test"
-value = "${digitalocean_droplet.web.ipv4_address}"
