Terraform Providers Explained | The Boundary Between Intent and Reality

Terraform does not create infrastructure directly. It describes intent. Providers are the boundary where that intent becomes real. In this lesson, we build a clear mental model for what Terraform providers actually do, why they exist, and how they shape what is possible when infrastructure changes. Instead of focusing on syntax or commands, we focus on cause and effect: how declared state flows through a provider, how identity is used, and why some changes succeed while others are rejected. You will learn: Why providers are adapters, not infrastructure How providers enforce the rules of external systems Why Terraform is not being strict when changes fail, but honest How identity flows through providers, not through Terraform itself How one Terraform workflow can manage many systems by changing providers Lesson 15 Disclaimer: Terraform is a trademark of HashiCorp, Inc.
