Create cloud architecture blueprints and let Terraform do the work
Use the verified Linode Terraform Provider to declaratively manage cloud infrastructure and version control workloads of all shapes and sizes.
Simplify Cloud Resource Management
Map out your infrastructure in one file with Terraform’s declarative infrastructure management, and Terraform executes via API endpoints for all your cloud providers.
Manage Cloud Infrastructure with One File and One Language
Massive amounts of resources that would normally take up a lot of screen space in your browser or hard-to-read code is succinctly declared in your .tf file. Terraform doesn’t require existing knowledge of a particular language. Hashicorp Configuration Language (HCL) is human-readable and the most important actions are done with a handful of simple commands.
Optimize Multicloud Management
Use Terraform to access all the infrastructure resources you need from different providers without needing to navigate between consoles. Linode’s open cloud setup and philosophy makes it easy to construct a multicloud architecture that meets your needs.
Easily Add Linode as Your Provider
Managing Linode infrastructure in Terraform only requires a few lines of code from Linode’s Terraform Provider page and an API token. Combine the ease of using Terraform with the simplicity of Linode's cloud infrastructure options and always transparent billing.
Reproduce Environments and Track Changes
Terraform’s analysis of your configuration files will produce the same results every time you instruct Terraform to create your configuration file. In addition, instructing Terraform to apply the same configuration repeatedly will not result in extra resource creation as it tracks changes made over time.
Declarative Infrastructure Management with Terraform
"Since Terraform uses the same language and framework regardless of cloud provider, the need for developers and administrators with provider-specific management skills or certifications decreases. When this essential management can be streamlined through Terraform, it reduces complexity and the need for more specific skills that can take additional time to achieve proficiency in."
Learn essential Terraform concepts, how to get started with the HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), and when to use Terraform with other IaC tools like Ansible.
