This allows Terraform to -build resources as efficiently as possible and gives operators greater insight into their infrastructure. +Terraform builds a resource graph and creates or modifies non-dependent resources in parallel. This allows Terraform to build resources as efficiently as possible and gives you greater insight into your infrastructure. ### Change Automation -Terraform can apply complex changesets to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. +Terraform can apply complex changesets to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. When you update configuration files, Terraform determines what changed and creates incremental execution plans that respect dependencies.
