## The Hook

Terraform turns cloud infrastructure into version-controlled code.

## What's Good

Multi-cloud support with one tool. State management tracks what exists. Plan before apply prevents surprises. The provider ecosystem covers almost everything.

## The Catch

State management requires care. The licensing change to BSL concerned some users. HCL has quirks. Complex modules become hard to debug.

## Verdict

The standard for infrastructure as code.
