Terraform Has a Free Infrastructure-as-Code Tool — Manage Cloud Resources With Declarative Config

Clicking around in AWS console is fine for one server. Managing 50 servers, 10 databases, 5 load balancers, and 3 VPCs? You need infrastructure-as-code. Terraform lets you define your entire cloud infrastructure in HCL files. Version it in git. Review changes in PRs. Apply with one command. Roll back if something breaks. Every major cloud provider is supported.
