Terraform is an infrastructure as code tool that allows you to manage your infrastructure efficiently through code. The files created to manage your infrastructure can be reused, versioned, and shared, helping you maintain a consistent workflow to provision and manage all your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle.
API Version Notice: Terraform Provider v2.0 requires API v4. This version is compatible only with Azion API v4. If you’re using API v3, see the Terraform Provider v1.x documentation.
How does Azion Terraform Provider work?
Terraform works based on providers. A provider is responsible for managing the lifecycle of a specific resource type. They’re implemented as plugins, which are separate executable files that can be loaded into Terraform at runtime.
The Azion Terraform Provider is an open source project, registered in the Terraform Registry that uses the Azion SDK (Go) to communicate with the Azion APIs, allowing you to manage your infrastructure hosted on the Azion platform, locally, as code.
