Your role and responsibilities
About the teamThe Terraform Runtime team owns "Stacks". Stacks aim to be a natural next step in extending infrastructure as code to a higher layer using the same Terraform shared modules users enjoy today. They help users optimize the coordination, deployment, and management of interdependent Terraform configurations, across any number of environments, reducing the time and overhead of managing infrastructure with Terraform.
Terraform Authorship is a group of teams that maintains the Core of Terraform (Community Edition) and drives both community and commercial value. Our mission is to keep Terraform at the forefront of the Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) space by driving industry-leading innovations that improve workflows for our customers and global community. We strive to make Terraform the best tool for managing infrastructure, and HCP Terraform the best product for realizing the full value of Terraform.
