Terraform
is an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) tool that you can use to provision resources
and permissions for Cloud Workstations.
To use Terraform with Cloud Workstations, you need to
create a configuration file
to describe your infrastructure, and then
apply the configuration file
to create an execution plan and perform operations to provision your
infrastructure.
For example, you can use Terraform to create workstations,
create various workstation configurations (templates), and
create workstation configurations for public or private workstation clusters.
