IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform)

IBM Terraform (formerly HashiCorp Terraform) is an infrastructure as code tool that lets you define both cloud and on-prem resources in human-readable configuration files that you can version, reuse, and share. You can then use a consistent workflow to provision and manage all of your infrastructure throughout its lifecycle. Terraform can manage low-level components like compute, storage, and networking resources, as well as high-level components like DNS entries and SaaS features.

Pulumi

Pulumi lets you build, deploy, and manage cloud infrastructure in the programming languages you already use, on any cloud. Developers and platform engineers write infrastructure in TypeScript, Python, Go, C#, Java, or YAML, with the same loops, functions, classes, package managers, IDEs, and test frameworks they use everywhere else. No domain-specific language to learn. Application and platform teams work from one codebase and one workflow, whether they're shipping to public, private, hybrid, or multiple clouds.
