What is Terraform?
Terraform is an open-source framework for Infrastructure as Code (IaC) that allows organizations to define, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure through declarative code instead of manual processes. It is specifically designed to support IaC and CI/CD pipelines, and works with all major cloud providers including Azure, AWS, and Google Cloud. From a cybersecurity perspective, this enables consistent, version-controlled, and secure infrastructure.
Think of Terraform as a recipe book for your cloud infrastructure. Just as a recipe precisely describes the ingredients and steps to create a dish, Terraform code defines exactly which resources should be created, how they should be configured, and how they should connect to each other. This ensures the infrastructure can be recreated identically each time, regardless of who runs the code.
Sicra and Terraform
Sicra has good knowledge of Terraform as part of our holistic approach to secure cloud development and operations. We help customers implement secure infrastructure as code, making security requirements an integral part of infrastructure deployment. This enables faster deployments while maintaining consistent security configurations and best practices.
