GitOps with Terraform

Mastering Infrastructure: A Practical Guide to GitOps with Terraform

Imagine you are working on a large-scale cloud project. You’ve spent hours meticulously configuring virtual machines, databases, and networking rules using Terraform. Everything is working perfectly. Then, a teammate makes a quick manual change in the AWS or Azure console to "fix" a minor issue. Suddenly, your Terraform code no longer reflects reality. The next time you run your deployment, your infrastructure breaks. This is the nightmare of configuration drift, and it is exactly what GitOps aims to solve.
