Terraform Automation Environment

What is Terraform?

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) tool that allows users to define, provision, and manage infrastructure across various cloud providers and on-premise data centers. It uses a declarative language called HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL) to define infrastructure resources like servers, databases, and networking components. Terraform is widely used for automating the management of infrastructure in a scalable, repeatable manner.

Using Terraform in Callgoose SQIBS Automation Platform

The Callgoose SQIBS Automation Platform integrates with Terraform, enabling users to automate infrastructure deployment and management as part of their automation workflows. Within Callgoose SQIBS, users can:

• Create and Execute Terraform Workflows: Users can create infrastructure automation workflows using Terraform scripts. These workflows can be triggered manually or automatically based on incidents or events in your environment, ensuring infrastructure is deployed, updated, or scaled efficiently.
• Incident Auto-Remediation: In case of infrastructure failures or incidents, Callgoose SQIBS can automatically trigger Terraform workflows to re-provision or update resources, helping to restore services without manual intervention.
• Event-Driven Automation: Callgoose SQIBS enables event-driven automation, where Terraform workflows can be executed automatically in response to system events, such as infrastructure changes, scaling needs, or outages. This ensures a proactive approach to managing infrastructure and minimizing downtime.
• Request Automation: Terraform workflows can be triggered based on user or system requests. For example, users can submit requests to provision new resources or update existing ones, and Callgoose SQIBS will execute the appropriate Terraform scripts to handle the request automatically.
• Version Flexibility: Callgoose SQIBS supports different versions of Terraform, allowing users to select the version that best fits their infrastructure requirements, ensuring compatibility and ease of use across various environments.

By integrating Terraform with Callgoose SQIBS, users can automate the entire lifecycle of their infrastructure, from provisioning to scaling and maintenance, all while reducing manual overhead and improving consistency in their deployments.
