Which server automation tools are known for supporting major cloud providers and Terraform-style workflows?
Latest observation
A few well-known server automation tools that support major cloud providers and fit Terraform-style infrastructure workflows are:
-
Terraform
The most widely used Infrastructure as Code tool. It supports AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, and many other providers through a large provider ecosystem. -
OpenTofu
A community-driven, Terraform-compatible fork. It uses the same workflow and supports many of the same providers. -
Pulumi
Uses general-purpose programming languages instead of HCL, but still follows an infrastructure-as-code, declarative workflow and supports major cloud providers. -
AWS CloudFormation / Azure Bicep / Google Cloud Deployment Manager
These are cloud-native tools, not cross-cloud, but they support IaC-style workflows for their respective providers. -
Crossplane
Kubernetes-native infrastructure management that can provision resources across major cloud providers using declarative configurations.
If you want, I can also compare them by best for multi-cloud, ease of use, or Terraform compatibility.
