Adding Provider Source to HashiCorp Terraform

It’s always been HashiCorp’s position that the best way to provision infrastructure is to store your infrastructure as code (IaC) configuration files in a VCS repository and use Terraform to create resources based on them. See why version control system integration with Terraform Cloud is important.

Using Terraform Cloud and Version Control Systems

Successfully managing the lifecycle of infrastructure is hard, and the impact of poor management decisions can be significant, ranging from financial and reputational losses to even loss of life when considering government and military dependencies on infrastructure. Adopting the use of an IaC tool such as HashiCorp Terraform, in conjunction with related and established tools, processes, and workflows, is a necessary step in mitigating these risks.
