Microsoft boosts investment in HashiCorp Terraform and Azure

Microsoft has been increasing its investment to make Terraform work fantastically on its Azure cloud platform.

Here are the highlights so far:

• Terraform Module Registry—Microsoft released eight new modules, including compute, storage, networking. Making it much easier to deploy cloud services

• Terraform is now pre-installed and pre-configured into the command-line shell that’s part of the Azure portal

• New Terraform providers for Azure, including eventgrid (events as a first-class citizen), and containers (fast creation of instances, with per-second billing)
