Terraform Core is open source and free. TFE and Terraform Cloud (aside from the capped free version) are not.
Terraform still needs bit of help when you want to run production grade:
state-locking (dynamodb)
state-storing (s3)
workspace/template management
CI/CD functions (atlantis)
secret management (vault)
and TFE gives you these right out of the box in a neatly packaged way. Of course, you can come up with different tools to meet those reqs (parenthesized above)
- firesteelrain 3y agoAzure has its own Key Vault so no need for the Vault product. As far as state, you can remotely store states in an Azure storage account. Storage container provides locking via the lease mechanism. Terraform as a product is awesome and the azurerm backend plus azurestack provider is great. I hate Bicep and Terraform simplifies it all.
