Providers
Terraform is used to create, manage, and manipulate infrastructure resources. Examples of resources include physical machines, VMs, network switches, containers, etc. Almost any infrastructure noun can be represented as a resource in Terraform.
Terraform is agnostic to the underlying platforms by supporting providers. A provider is responsible for understanding API interactions and exposing resources. Providers generally are an IaaS (e.g. AWS, DigitalOcean, GCE), PaaS (e.g. Heroku, CloudFoundry), or SaaS services (e.g. Atlas, DNSimple, CloudFlare).
