Key Concepts

• Terraform Cloud: A Terraform based HashiCorp platform for managing and automating infrastructure as code.

Update

I have since moved away from Terraform Cloud. While the workflow they offer is rather good in practice, it was too much more practical to have Ansible run my Terraform workflows since the end goal is to provision the VM created in the process.
