IAAC using Terraform
What do you like best about the product?
You just have to run terraform apply command and boom your entire infrastructure will get ready
What do you dislike about the product?
Learning Hashicorp language might be difficult for beginners
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We used to have multiple services on AWS which we had to create manually now everything is defined in a code we just run the code and our infra is up and running
Handy tool for Infrastructure provisioning
What do you like best about the product?
Contains multiple providers for the cloud platform of your choice to provision your resources.
Hashicorp language is not so complex and easy to remember in comparison to yaml language
Provisioning and destroying of your infrastructure with a single use of the command.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is limited support and provider for Microsoft Azure Cloud in comparison to AWS Cloud.
Most of the times provisioning(terraform apply) is stuck in a loop and never gets completed.
Not any more cons I know of or faced so far.

Might come in handy if looking for faster infrastructure cloud automation
Best Infra as a code service/solution
What do you like best about the product?
Currently automating aws infra with the help of terraform. This has made deployment of environments a breeze. The structure of terraform files are easy to understand and modify. This makes it very easy to code with fewer lines of code. Though it has a bit of initial learning curve, once you understand how to use it its very easy to manage and update.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes the deployment takes long, mostly due to a dependency while modifying. The enterprise version is very costly.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
- Automating AWS infrastructure creation / maintenance
- Migration from one cloud vendor to another

Terraform is the example of next generation of configuration orchestration systems
What do you like best about the product?
you can have Amazon instances running Kubernetes containers with your workloads, and manage the whole system from one tool.
What do you dislike about the product?
it was developed with cloud-only deployment
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I just did reaserch about the scope and impact on my work. And found that it is a promising results.
Terraform enterprise
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity of the functionality. State management is easy.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes there are issues reading the status of what was changed and what was updated. A neater format would be nice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure as code and automating these tasks
Flexible but frustrating at times
What do you like best about the product?
Provider agnostic, HCL, simple to learn basics
What do you dislike about the product?
Missing support for a lot of useful features like nested loops
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Infrastructure as Code
Solution for all provisioning needs
What do you like best about the product?
It is great at what it does. Easily pluggable to existing workflows. The configurations have a learning curve but worth it. It is a polished product even when it has not been around for so long yet.
What do you dislike about the product?
It handles provisioning well but not good for configuration management and you need to implement something like ansible, chef in conjunction. They already have decent provisioning support so it becomes a bit difficult to pitch it to management to go for it.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We are using Terraform for our cloud VM provisioning. It has brought us closer to our goal of becoming cloud-agnostic.
DevOps Ease with Terraform
What do you like best about the product?
The best aspect of terraform is HCL. The language makes things easy to read and present, allowing less knowledgeable employees to still follow along with easy. Additionally, the modular approach of terraform is easy to use, as one variable change in the root module will be displayed where I want.
What do you dislike about the product?
I dislike the ability to make one ELB module in the root module, for example, and reuse the ELB module in different places. Essentially, if there was a way to have multiple sources per module, my life would be much easier and this would help IMMENSELY with larger scale projects like the one I'm working on now.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
We had the problem of a disorganized and rather complicated approach to creating cloud formations/stacks on AWS. The benefits of modularization supersede our current approach and we love the ability to plan and see what will happen before anything actually occurs, along with keeping better control of our states.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Take your time with understanding modules. It takes time to implement and fully understand.
