Terraform

Terraform Integration in Dash0

Terraform is an open-source infrastructure as code (IaC) software tool created by HashiCorp. It allows users to define and provision data center infrastructure using a declarative configuration language known as HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL), or optionally JSON.

Dash0 offers a Terraform provider that enables you to manage your dashboards as code, bringing the same benefits of version control, collaboration, and automation to your observability resources that you already enjoy with your infrastructure.

For more information, visit the Terraform Project Page.
