Managing Feature Flags with Terraform

The text discusses the benefits and use cases of Terraform, an open-source infrastructure as code software tool created by HashiCorp. It explains how Terraform simplifies managing complex infrastructures across multiple cloud services, reducing manual work and enabling consistent processes for creating and changing configurations. The author also introduces a new LaunchDarkly Terraform provider that allows users to manage feature flags using Terraform. Two examples are provided: one demonstrating how to create environments without storing individual flag details in Terraform, and another showing how to manage and protect flags without changing their state. The text concludes by discussing the potential use of feature flags in HCL files and encouraging feedback on this topic.
