     7  
     8  Terraform provides a flexible abstraction of resources and providers. This model
     9  allows for representing everything from physical hardware, virtual machines, and
    10  containers, to email and DNS providers. Because of this flexibility, Terraform
    11  can be used to solve many different problems. This means there are a number of
    12  existing tools that overlap with the capabilities of Terraform. We compare Terraform
    13  to a number of these tools, but it should be noted that Terraform is not mutually
    14  exclusive with other systems. It can be used to manage a single application, or the
    15  entire datacenter.
