Terraform

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

Terraform abstracts out the interaction with various infrastructure services (AWS, Digital Ocean, OpenStack, etc) and provides a unified configuration format for it.
