We use this solution to make our migration plan and utilize the images of Azure, GCP, and EC2 instances for our infrastructure. We have basic applications that the bank requires, so we use Terraform to expedite the initial infrastructure preparation. We also created a couple of common modules that we can use in production, development, and test environments.

Application Security Engineer at Waves

We use Terraform for many different use cases. The primary one is ensuring that the security policy is automatically applied to all of the resources within a cloud environment. Another one would be creating and dismantling all sorts of test labs, as well as creating a development environment. We found a way to automatically create a development environment only for the time we need. We develop the infrastructure and cloud-related tasks.

Terraform is our main infrastructure as code at the bank. Our entire deployment site and the AWS solution are based on Terraform. We use EBridge and the Dochub solution on the Bitbucket pipeline. Terraform runs on a container in the Bitbucket pipeline, but to create my entire cloud solution, I use EBridge.

A primary use case of Terraform is for deploying a VM on a cloud using Terraform script. If I then want to deploy a third-party toolset, a solution such as Aviatrix can create an overlay on top of each of the cloud providers and you can connect the clouds together. I'm a solutions architect and we are customers of HashiCorp.

Mohammed Fareed - PeerSpot reviewer
Azure DevOps Lead at DXC Technology

We use Terraform to create infrastructure. We get the name of the resource provider, and the Terraform script is returned in HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). 

We can find readily available code from the HashiCorp community to create a virtual machine or Kubernetes service cluster. We take that code, provide the resource provider name, and run the script using Terraform commands to create the infrastructure

We currently use Terraform in our Azure pipelines in the cloud. Our team has 10 developers, and we will increase our usage as the team grows.

We deliver the platform as a service to businesses. For example, one request for a particular subscription could be in the business domain or non-business domain, whatever it may be, based on the demand, we deliver the customized subscription to them. For each service, we have different constraints. What needs to be delivered in the VNet of Azure, and what needs to be done externally.

We use it to provision cloud infrastructure. We use it to provision all kinds of infrastructure from wherever we want, we Terraform to the cloud.

We provision new infrastructure, we update existing infrastructure with it, we manage our DNS records, and also deploy new applications on Kubernetes. That's the main use, but we use it for all of our infrastructures, so it has a lot of different use cases.

I mainly use it for infrastructure automation. I use it to provision servers in different cloud providers and in-house with the principles to create a Kubernetes cluster. If you have a master node concept I would create the master and find related text.

The main function for me is to create infrastructure.
