Description
The focus of Juju has always been on the reliable and secure operation of applications. It does not provide generic abstractions for creating and managing arbitrary cloud resources outside of the scope of the applications it’s driving. Cloud-specific resources can be created by charms, but often when deploying Charmed solutions into the enterprise, there is existing infrastructure it must “plug into” or sit alongside - like an org-wide Amazon VPC, or a particular Virtual Network on Azure, etc.
Hashicorp Terraform is a hugely successful swiss-army knife of infrastructure provisioning. It has a large community and over 2000 providers for different cloud providers in the form of IaaS, PaaS and SaaS vendors, and even for pizza delivery…
The Juju Terraform provider allows you to combine these two technologies to supercharge your infrastructure provisioning and applications lifecycle management.
