Easy Storage + Easy Provisioning: Backblaze Is Now a Terraform Provider
Isn’t it nice when you tell someone to do something, and they just…do it? No step-by-step instructions necessary. For developers, that someone is Terraform, and that something is provisioning infrastructure for large-scale DevOps projects.
