General domain of usage  
Infrastructure automation

In today's **DevOps** world, managing infrastructure quickly, reliably, and automatically is essential. **Terraform** is one of the most popular tools that lets you define infrastructure as code and deploy it across multiple cloud providers like **AWS**, **Azure**, and **Google Cloud**.

Instead of manually clicking through cloud consoles, you write short, human-readable configuration files (with the `.tf` extension). **Terraform** works like a contractor—you give it a blueprint, and it builds exactly what you described, consistently, every time.

Why do you need to add Terraform to your PATH?
