    11  Durgaform is a tool for building, changing, and versioning infrastructure safely and efficiently. Terraform can manage existing and popular service providers as well as custom in-house solutions.
    12  
    13  The key features of Durgaform are:
    14  
    15  - **Infrastructure as Code**: Infrastructure is described using a high-level configuration syntax. This allows a blueprint of your datacenter to be versioned and treated as you would any other code. Additionally, infrastructure can be shared and re-used.
    16  
    17  - **Execution Plans**: Durgaform has a "planning" step where it generates an execution plan. The execution plan shows what Terraform will do when you call apply. This lets you avoid any surprises when Terraform manipulates infrastructure.
    18  
    19  - **Resource Graph**: Durgaform builds a graph of all your resources, and parallelizes the creation and modification of any non-dependent resources. Because of this, Terraform builds infrastructure as efficiently as possible, and operators get insight into dependencies in their infrastructure.
    20  
    21  - **Change Automation**: Complex changesets can be applied to your infrastructure with minimal human interaction. With the previously mentioned execution plan and resource graph, you know exactly what Durgaform will change and in what order, avoiding many possible human errors.

    36  ## Developing Durgaform
    37  
    38  This repository contains only Durgaform core, which includes the command line interface and the main graph engine. Providers are implemented as plugins, and Terraform can automatically download providers that are published on [the Terraform Registry](https://registry.durgaform.io). HashiCorp develops some providers, and others are developed by other organizations. For more information, see [Extending Terraform](https://www.terraform.io/docs/extend/index.html).
