Use cases

Increase productivity with change tracking and versioning, reusability, and centralized configuration. Use the same workflow to manage multiple cloud providers and handle cross-cloud dependencies with 2,500+ public providers in the Terraform Registry. Extend Terraform's automation with CI/CD integrations, API access, and third-party services with run tasks.

No-code provisioning lets platform teams manage a catalog of no-code modules for users like app developers to deploy without prior Terraform experience. Publish a library of approved configurations in the private registry for use across an organization and natively integrate with the ServiceNow Service Catalog to extend existing self-service processes.

Reduce the risk of misconfigurations by enforcing guardrails for security, compliance, cost, and organizational best practices before infrastructure is provisioned. Sentinel’s policy as code framework is embedded in the Terraform provisioning workflow to maintain consistent policy enforcement across all operations without manual reviews.

Minimize cloud waste and gain visibility into the impact of changes with cost estimation. Use cost-centric policies with Sentinel to control costs before provisioning occurs. Modules facilitate cost savings by allowing platform teams to build operational best practices into reusable templates.

Gain instant visibility into the state of cloud infrastructure with health assessments. Drift Detection for Terraform preemptively detects when a resource has changed from the expected state, helping reduce security and operational risks. Customizable notifications alert operators when drift is detected or a health assessment fails.
