What is Terraform 🌱

Terraform

• declarative listing what resources from different cloud services. Terraform wrote backend code to communicate with the providers so all you need is basically a config file with a .tf extension.
• You need to install terraform, then you run in terminal terraform init to configure terraform to work with your providers. Then run terraform apply to launch your configured resources from thhe providers.
• terraform.tfstate is created/edited on apply and it is an important file to keep because it keeps track of previous configs of the terraform resources, so that when you make a new push, it is able to deal with the old resources properly and replace them with the new ones.
