Najczęściej zadawane pytania
Common questions about the Terraform market — short answers from the same data slice.
What do I need to know about Terraform for an interview?
State and its storage, modules and their versioning, plan/apply and drift, workspaces or environments, importing existing resources, secrets handling and policies (Sentinel, OPA).
Terraform or OpenTofu, Pulumi, CloudFormation?
Terraform remains the most frequent requirement; OpenTofu is a compatible open fork and the skill transfers fully. Pulumi and CloudFormation appear less often and are usually tied to a team's specific stack.
What is Terraform paired with?
A cloud (AWS, Azure, GCP), Kubernetes, a CI/CD pipeline that applies changes and a scripting language (Python, Bash). Ansible covers server configuration, Terraform — resource creation.
How big is the Terraform market?
The slice tracks 4 918 open positions listing Terraform; in practice it is a baseline requirement of infrastructure roles rather than a standalone specialty.
