# Providers

Terraform is used to create, manage, and update infrastructure resources such
as physical machines, VMs, network switches, containers, and more. Almost any
infrastructure type can be represented as a resource in Terraform.

A provider is responsible for understanding API interactions and exposing
resources. Providers generally are an IaaS (e.g. Alibaba Cloud, AWS, GCP, Microsoft Azure,
OpenStack), PaaS (e.g. Heroku), or SaaS services (e.g. Terraform Cloud,
DNSimple, Cloudflare).

Use the navigation to the left to find available providers by type or scroll
down to see all providers.
