Integrating Competing Products with Terraform
Terraform promises to expand the value of the infrastructure-as-code principle by enabling the integration of any type of infrastructure, even if it includes parts from different vendors whose products were not designed to work together.
Terraform is an answer to the challenge of assuring backwards-compatibility as new DevOps tools emerge. That's significant since, while it would be nice if all infrastructure suddenly became as open as DevOps tools themselves, that's unlikely to happen. Hooking into legacy systems and bringing them up to speed with DevOps workflows will be key as DevOps adoption continues.
