Can you explain what the Terraform tool is and what it is used for?

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool. It allows describing and managing infrastructure (servers, networks, databases, etc.) using declarative configuration files.

Main features of Terraform:

• Automatic creation, modification, and deletion of resources in cloud providers (AWS, Azure, GCP, etc.) and other services.
• Infrastructure management as code, facilitating versioning and reuse.
• Change planning with the terraform plan command to see what changes will be made before applying.
• Support for multiple providers and resources.

Example: you describe a virtual machine configuration in a file, and Terraform automatically creates it in the cloud, managing the entire process.
