Unlocking the Cloud Operating Model: Provisioning

When moving to the cloud, the infrastructure layer transitions from running dedicated servers at limited scale to a dynamic environment where organizations can adjust to growing demand by spinning up servers and scaling them down when not in use.

Infrastructure provisioning automation is the foundation of the cloud operating model. HashiCorp Terraform is the most widely used cloud provisioning product. It can be used to provision infrastructure for any application using an array of providers for any target platform, helping organizations transition to the cloud seamlessly.

In this webinar with Terraform Product Marketing Manager Meghan Liese, you'll learn how to unlock a powerful cloud operating model starting with infrastructure provisioning automation via infrastructure as code. You'll learn about the people, process, and technology required for this cloud transition, and you'll also learn how Terraform helps with the following:
