How can I use Terraform for automation in my projects?

You can use Terraform to automate infrastructure provisioning and management by defining your infrastructure as code.

What are the benefits of using Terraform over other tools?

Terraform offers a declarative configuration language, state management, and a large ecosystem of providers, making it versatile.

Can you give me an example of a simple Terraform script?

Sure! Here's a basic example that provisions an AWS EC2 instance:

provider "aws" {
  region = "us-west-2"
}

resource "aws_instance" "example" {
  ami           = "ami-0c55b159cbfafe01a"
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
}

How do I manage state files in Terraform?

You can manage state files by using remote backends like AWS S3 or Terraform Cloud, which help with collaboration and versioning.
