Summary

Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) has become crucial in many businesses' cloud journey. It allows the definition and management of infrastructure as code, typically for cloud environments. Two popular IaC tools are Terraform by HashiCorp and AWS CloudFormation. While both have their unique features, Terraform is known for its ability to deploy resources across multiple cloud providers, making it "cloud agnostic." On the other hand, AWS CloudFormation is designed specifically for provisioning AWS resources and offers native support from AWS. The choice between these two tools depends on factors such as preference for dynamic features, need for built-in functions, state management requirements, and more.
