Moderate Setup (1-3 hours)

You can use OpenTofu to define and manage your cloud infrastructure using configuration files instead of manual setup. Write code to create servers, databases, networks, and other cloud resources across AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, and other providers. It reads your configuration files and automatically creates, updates, or deletes infrastructure to match what you specified. You can version control your infrastructure, collaborate with teammates, and deploy changes safely.
