Confluent Releases HashiCorp Terraform Provider to Simplify Multi-Cloud Data Streaming

Confluent, a data streaming platform, has announced the Confluent Terraform Provider as part of its Q3 ‘22 Launch. Developed in partnership with HashiCorp, a provider of multi-cloud infrastructure automation software, the Terraform provider exposes Confluent Cloud APIs for simple, consistent, and automated management of mission-critical data streaming resources, including cloud environments, Apache Kafka clusters, networks, topics, connectors, and more.

With Terraform Provider, engineering teams can integrate data streaming within CI/CD workflows and GitOps processes on AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud.

Ganesh Srinivasan, Chief Product Officer, Confluent said, “with our HashiCorp Terraform integration, organizations get the power of data streaming across all major cloud providers with the simplicity of infrastructure as code and automation. This means developers have safe, reliable access to the infrastructure resources they need, so they can focus on building applications that truly move the needle for their businesses.”

With the new Terraform provider, teams can:

• Reduce complexity and risk with infrastructure deployments managed as code and deployed through automated GitOps integration.
• Increase developer autonomy and productivity with consistent, version-controlled access to data streaming environments, Kafka clusters, Kafka topics, and more.
• Integrate Confluent deployments within existing cloud workflows on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud using standardized resource management tooling, pipelines, and processes.

“The new, verified Terraform provider for Confluent makes provisioning critical data streaming resources simple and reliable,” said Burzin Patel, VP, Global Partner Alliances, HashiCorp. “It automates deployments within existing CI/CD workflows across all major cloud services so organizations can easily access the real-time data they need for innovation with far less time focused on infrastructure management.”
