Terraform Cloud
Hosted Terraform with remote state, policy and a standard workflow. Now part of the HashiCorp platform.
State management, which is where self-hosted Terraform hurts.
What it is sold for
Running Terraform with shared state and policy.
The address redirects to https://www.hashicorp.com/en/products/terraform, which is worth knowing before you follow it.
Same shelf
The rest of ci, cd and infrastructure, alphabetically. Sharing a category is a filing decision, not a relationship.
- Automation for finance operations, built as workflows rather than as spreadsheets.
- Agentless configuration management over SSH, with playbooks in YAML and no daemon on the target.
- Orchestrates AWS services as a state machine, so retries and failure branches are configuration rather than code.
- Artifact and release management for teams shipping binaries: mobile, desktop, games, XR and embedded.
- Process orchestration for long-running work that spans people, systems and now agents, with the model as the executable.
- A hosted CI platform, one of the older ones, now marketing itself around validating machine-written changes.
- Metrics, logs, traces and a great deal more in one platform. The default answer for large-scale monitoring, and priced like it.
- Deploys from a git host to servers with build steps, zero-downtime releases and one-click rollback.
