❓ Domande frequenti
What's the difference between Terraform and manual cloud console management?
Terraform lets you declare infrastructure as code, version it in Git, and apply changes consistently. Manual clicking is slow, error-prone, and impossible to audit or roll back.
How does state management work in Terraform?
State files track resource IDs and properties. Local state works for learning; production uses remote backends (S3, Terraform Cloud) with locking to prevent concurrent applies.
What is a Terraform module?
A module is a reusable package of Terraform code, think of it like a library. AWS VPC module bundles 30+ resources; use it once instead of writing 300 lines.
Is OpenTofu a Terraform replacement?
OpenTofu is an open-source fork with 100% Terraform HCL compatibility. Use if you want open-source governance; Terraform is still the industry default.
Can Terraform manage Kubernetes resources?
Yes, via Kubernetes provider. Use Terraform for cloud infra (VPC, nodes) and Helm for app deployments, or Terraform for both, depends on your team's workflow.
How do I prevent state drift in production?
Use Spacelift or Atlantis for policy enforcement, Sentinel for cost/compliance checks, and tfsec/Checkov for security scanning before apply.
What's the salary bump for learning Terraform?
$25k-$60k premium in DevOps/Platform/SRE roles. Junior: $95k-$120k; Mid: $120k-$155k; Senior: $155k-$195k.
