HashiCorp Terraform Features
Reviews from Real Users
HashiCorp Terraform is a highly effective solution that stands out when compared to many of its competitors. Two significant advantages it offers are its ability to help users create deployment pipelines that make the deployment process simple and its ability to recover infrastructure fully should something delete or damage it.
Patryk G., the chief technology officer at Translucent Computing Inc, writes, “Furthermore, Terraform enables the creation of a deployment pipeline using tools, such as Atlantis, which automates the process of scanning and deploying the code. This streamlines the deployment process and adds features, such as auditing, risk management, and security scanning to the deployment process. Terraform provides a more organized and secure way of managing infrastructure, compared to the traditional ad-hoc method.”
Rakib M., the chief technology and strategy officer at the White House, says, “One of the other major features of terraform is its ability to act as a Disaster Recovery tool. Since terraform is an Infrastructure-As-A-Service tool, it can be used as part of the rest of the DR toolset to restore affected infrastructure to its original state without any variation.”
OS Deployer automates the disk imaging and deployment process. It helps administrators capture images of different OS versions and store them in a network share, to create different deployment templates for various employee roles, and deploy the images to the new systems all from a central management console. With central image capturing and deployment capabilities, OS Deployer reduces support, training and management costs by standardizing your entire organization on one or more operating systems. OS Deployer creates an exact disk image of the given system including standard configuration, operating system, configuration files and all applications that can be deployed to multiple systems simultaneously, making it ideal for rapid bare-metal provisioning.
