Terraform is classified as being in the Enterprise Maturity Business Modularity stage.
Terraform is an infrastructure as a coding platform that lets you define both cloud and on-premises resources in reusable, version-able, and shareable configuration files. There are several specific characteristics that Terraform possesses that make it obvious that it is in the "Business Modularity" stage, which refers to the use of modular and reusable components in Terraform.
Some of the reasons that influence Terraform at this point -
Collaboration and Version Control
Automation at Scale
Reusable Modules
Standardization of Modules
Efficiency and Consistency
Module Governance
Business Process Modeling Notation
BPMN:
The Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN) is a graphical notation for modelling business processes in a workflow. It is commonly used to visualize and document business processes in a variety of industries, including healthcare, manufacturing, logistics, and banking. The BPMN standard is maintained by the Object Management Group (OMG), and there are several software tools available that support the notation. During the early stages of enterprise maturity, businesses typically use ad-hoc methods to model their business processes. This can lead to inconsistency and errors in process documentation (Kassim et al. 2022).
The following diagram shows the basic structure of a BPMN diagram in Terraform :
The diagram is about solving an issue in Infrastructure :
The process of issue resolution with Terraform typically follows a structured sequence. It begins with Issue Identification, where a client highlights any infrastructure-related weaknesses or problems. The Data Gathering stage involves compiling essential information about the issue, including symptoms and error messages. Once the data is collected, the client contacts Terraform's management staff, conveying the issue's details and the impact on daily operations. The staff proceeds with Examining and Troubleshooting, meticulously investigating logs and running diagnostic tests. A back-and-forth communication with the client may also take place. Following issue identification, a Resolution and Communication step is initiated, whereby the staff implements a fix or workaround and promptly informs the client. After resolving the problem, the client validates the solution's effectiveness, ensuring satisfaction. Finally, the request is formally closed, with all relevant data and documentation saved for reference. This structured process ensures efficient issue resolution in Terraform's infrastructure management.
