Let's take a peek at how Terraform works at a high level. When using Terraform, the systems infrastructure is described with Terraform configuration files that are placed inside of a Terraform workspace. Within the files, declarative infrastructure code defines the resources that represent infrastructure objects to provision inside of the cloud platform. Following GitOps principles, these files should be stored in Git because they represent the desired state of the systems infrastructure. To achieve the…
