A software developer shares their journey of moving from running HashiStack on AWS to a new automated cloud setup on Google Cloud Platform using Terraform.
The decision to use Terraform was influenced by its ease of defining infrastructure as code, support for multiple cloud providers, and the reliability of spinning up infrastructure with a single command.
Terraform enables reusability, idempotency, version control, and state tracking, providing consistency across environments and teams.
The developer first experimented with Terraform using Docker locally before transitioning to migrating their infrastructure to GCP, highlighting the ease and efficiency of the process.
