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.”

Fred Crehan, an IT industry veteran, has been appointed as the company’s Regional Director for the Middle East. He added, “The continuous collection and delivery of data across the digital enterprise – what we refer to as ‘data in motion’ – underpins all digital initiatives, be it the modernization of IT, adoption of AI, utilization of analytics, or migration to the cloud. The UAE organizations recognize that unlocking the full potential of real-time data will empower them to pioneer compelling digital services for the discerning modern consumer.”

Data streaming is a new category of computing that enables any business to stream, store, and process data in real time. With data streaming acting as a central nervous system, all the data within an organisation becomes instantly available to all applications and people in real time. As a result, new business can be uncovered, customer experiences exceeded, and new operational efficiencies realized.
