Terraform is a tool which has become more popular because it has a simple syntax that allows easy modularity and works against multi-cloud. One important reason corporations consider Terraform is to manage their infrastructure as code.

With Terraform, many of your team’s resources — such as projects, IAM policies, networks, and Compute Engine instances — can be managed, versioned, and easily recreated for your organization or teams. The state that Terraform generates is saved to Google Cloud Storage for persistence.

There are several benefits of using Terraform with Google Cloud, including:

Infrastructure as code: Terraform allows one to describe infrastructure as code, which makes it easy to version control, review, and collaborate on existing infrastructure.
Multi-cloud support: Terraform can be used to manage resources across multiple cloud providers, including Google Cloud Platform, making it a powerful tool for multi-cloud deployments
Automation: Terraform can automate the process of provisioning and managing resources on GCP, reducing the time and effort required to manage your infrastructure.
Improved security: Terraform allows to define and manage security controls such as firewall rules and access controls, helping to improve the security of GCP resources
Cost optimization: Terraform can help to optimize GCP costs by automating the process of scaling resources.
