At the time of this commit we have a proposal #28700 which would, if accepted, need to reserve a new reference prefix to represent template arguments. It seems unlikely that the proposal would be accepted and implemented before Terraform v1.0 creates additional compatibility constraints, and so this pre-emptively reserves a few candidate symbol names to allow something like that proposal to potentially move forward later without requiring a new opt-in language edition. If we do move forward with the proposal then we'll select one of these three reserved names depending on which form of the proposal we decide to move forward with, and then un-reserve the other two. If we decide to not pursue this proposal at all then we'll un-reserve all three once that decision is finalized. It's unlikely that there is any existing provider which has a resource type named either "template", "lazy", or "arg", but in that unlikely event users of that provider can keep using it by adding the "resource." escaping prefix, such as changing "lazy.foo.bar" into "resource.lazy.foo.bar". |

Terraform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
The key features of Terraform are:
-
Infrastructure as Code: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.
-
Execution Plans: Terraform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.
-
Resource Graph: Terraform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.
-
Change Automation: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Terraform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.
For more information, see the introduction section of the Terraform website.
Getting Started & Documentation
Documentation is available on the Terraform website:
If you're new to Terraform and want to get started creating infrastructure, please check out our Getting Started guides on HashiCorp's learning platform. There are also additional guides to continue your learning.
Show off your Terraform knowledge by passing a certification exam. Visit the certification page for information about exams and find study materials on HashiCorp's learning platform.
Developing Terraform
This repository contains only Terraform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins, and Terraform can automatically download providers that are published on the Terraform Registry. HashiCorp develops some providers, and others are developed by other organizations. For more information, see Extending Terraform.
