Infrastructure as Code: Why Terraform Should Be your Default in 2024
Infrastructure as Code is the practice of managing your cloud resources through code rather than manual console clicks. It gives you reproducibility, version control, peer review, and automated disaster recovery — capabilities that are simply impossible with manual provisioning.
Why Terraform Wins
Terraform’s provider-agnostic HCL syntax, massive community, and mature module ecosystem make it the default choice for multi-cloud and hybrid-cloud organisations. AWS CDK is excellent if you’re AWS-only and want to use familiar programming languages.
