Question

Your organization runs production workloads on AWS but is acquiring a company whose systems all run on Microsoft Azure. Leadership wants the combined infrastructure teams to use one tool and one workflow to provision resources across both clouds, rather than maintaining separate cloud-native scripting for each. Which characteristic of Terraform most directly addresses this requirement?

Accepted Answer

Terraform uses a provider-agnostic configuration language and a plugin-based provider model, letting a single workflow manage resources across multiple cloud platforms

Answer

Terraform automatically converts AWS CloudFormation templates into Azure Resource Manager templates during apply

Answer

Terraform requires a separate binary for each cloud, but they share the same state file format

Answer

Terraform migrates existing running resources from one cloud provider to another when the provider block is changed
