Terraform is an infrastructure as a code tool that allows you to define and configure your infrastructure using your declarative code. Its syntax is very simple. Terraform uses a configuration language to describe the desired state of your infrastructure, and this language is composed of various block types. These block types play a crucial role in defining and configuring infrastructure in Terraform.
