Terraform is a powerful Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tool used to automate cloud resource management. To use Terraform on Windows, you need to install it and configure the system so it can recognize and execute Terraform commands.
This guide provides step-by-step instructions to download, install, and set up Terraform on a Windows system.
Terraform is a cross-platform tool, meaning it works on Windows, macOS, and Linux. However, Windows requires additional setup, such as configuring environment variables, since it does not support Terraform natively like Linux-based operating systems.
