Transform your IT operations with Infrastructure as Code

Modern enterprises demand agility, scalability, and consistency across increasingly complex hybrid and multi-cloud environments. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) delivers exactly that.

Rather than configuring infrastructure manually, IaC uses human-readable code to define and manage servers, networks, and services—automating deployment, enforcing best practice, and ensuring repeatability at scale.

This approach allows organisations to treat infrastructure with the same discipline as software development: version control, testing, auditing, and collaboration. The result is faster provisioning, fewer errors, and environments that can be reproduced or scaled on demand.

At DeeperThanBlue, we help organisations adopt IaC through expert implementation and support of HashiCorp Terraform and Vault—two of the most powerful tools in the DevOps ecosystem.

What Is Terraform?

Terraform is HashiCorp’s industry-leading open-source IaC platform that enables you to define, provision, and manage infrastructure across cloud or on-premise environment.

Using a simple declarative syntax, Terraform automates the entire lifecycle—from initial provisioning to ongoing change management—across providers such as AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud.

Terraform brings order to complex infrastructure landscapes—making it the foundation for scalable, compliant, and repeatable cloud operations, allowing multiple similar projects to be provisioned by simply changing a few values.

Key capabilities include:

Provider ecosystem: Integrates with hundreds of cloud, SaaS, and on-prem technologies.
State management: Tracks deployed resources to manage updates safely.
Dependency handling: Automatically orders resource creation for reliability.
Reusable modules: Streamline builds, accelerate delivery, and enforce consistency.
Version control integration: Enables collaborative DevOps workflows with full traceability.
Implement disaster recovery: Cold stand-by spin-up via region switching (on the same cloud provider) or multi-cloud scripts.

Ecosystem: What Works Alongside Terraform

Terraform fits seamlessly within a modern DevOps toolchain. It integrates with:

HashiCorp Vault for secure secrets and credential management.
GitHub, GitLab, and Bitbucket for source control and collaboration.
Jenkins, GitHub Actions, and GitLab CI for CI/CD automation.
Kubernetes and Docker for container orchestration.
Ansible and Chef for configuration management.

Together, these integrations create a secure, automated pipeline that bridges infrastructure provisioning, deployment, and runtime management.

What is Vault?

HashiCorp Vault is a centralised secrets management platform that protects sensitive data such as passwords, API tokens, encryption keys, and certificates.

Tt provides a secure, auditable system for storing, distributing, and rotating credentials—whether across public clouds, hybrid environments, or on-prem systems.

When paired with Terraform, Vault ensures every aspect of infrastructure automation is built with security and compliance at its core.

Vault delivers:

Dynamic secrets: Automatically generate and expire credentials.
Encryption as a service: Apply encryption without exposing keys.
Access policies: Enforce least-privilege access and compliance controls.
Audit trails: Maintain transparency and governance across all activity.
Integration with Terraform: Securely inject secrets into automated infrastructure builds.

The Strengths of Terraform and Vault

Implementing Terraform and Vault together creates a powerful platform for secure, automated, and scalable IT operations:

Capability	Benefit
Automation and consistency	Eliminate manual configuration and reduce errors.
Security by design	Protect credentials and enforce least-privilege access.
Speed and agility	Deploy environments in minutes, not days.
Scalability	Manage multiple clouds and environments from a single codebase.
Compliance and governance	Audit every change for transparency and control.
Disaster recovery readiness	Version-controlled infrastructure allows instant rollback.

This combination provides the reliability and flexibility that enterprise IT teams need to deliver continuous innovation safely and efficiently.

Integration with IBM Solutions

Terraform and Vault offer native support for IBM Cloud via official HashiCorp providers, allowing automated deployment of IBM Cloud resources, networking, and services. At DeeperThanBlue, we take this further—integrating Terraform and Vault with IBM middleware and legacy systems, including WebSphere, MQ, ACE, and DB2.

Our integration expertise enables organisations to modernise traditional IBM environments without disrupting stability or compliance, bridging the gap between legacy workloads and modern cloud operations.

Typical Use Cases

Terraform and Vault are ideal for organisations seeking to:

Automate multi-cloud provisioning and resource management.
Create consistent Dev, Test, and Production environments.
Securely manage API keys, passwords, and certificates.
Support cloud migration and scaling strategies.
Enforce policy-driven governance and compliance.
Integrate IBM workloads into a modern IaC framework.

Whether you’re building greenfield cloud infrastructure or modernising existing environments, Terraform and Vault deliver the consistency, control, and security required for enterprise-scale transformation.
