# Providers
|
|
|
|
Terraform is used to create, manage, and manipulate infrastructure resources.
|
|
Examples of resources include physical machines, VMs, network switches,
|
|
containers, etc. Almost any infrastructure noun can be represented as a resource
|
|
in Terraform.
|
|
|
|
Terraform is agnostic to the underlying platforms by supporting providers. A
|
|
provider is responsible for understanding API interactions and exposing
|
|
resources. Providers generally are an IaaS (e.g. AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure,
|
|
OpenStack), PaaS (e.g. Heroku), or SaaS services (e.g. Terraform Enterprise,
|
|
DNSimple, CloudFlare).
