Terraform is an open-source tool that is built by HashiCorp. Using the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), you can automate deploying your infrastructure, and provisioning its resources. With only a few configuration files, you can build, manage, update, and delete your infrastructure using Terraform. This technique, enabled by Terraform, is known as Infrastructure as Code (IaC).

This guide explains how to use Terraform and HCL to define and deploy a multicloud environment that spans Linode and another vendor. Check out all the Teraform guides on Linode’s docs
