Key Features of Terraform

1. IaC (Infrastructure as Code): Manage infrastructure through code rather than manual processes.
2. Platform Agnostic: Supports multiple cloud providers.
3. Declarative Language: You define what you want the infrastructure to look like, and Terraform handles how to achieve it.
4. State Management: Maintains a state file to track infrastructure changes.
5. Resource Graph: Generates a dependency graph to manage resources in the correct order.
6. Reusable Modules: Allows the use of pre-defined templates to manage complex infrastructure.
