Does Cloud Accelerate required Hashicorp Terraform to work?

If so, does it work with the free OSS version or only the paid enterprise versions?

 

If not, what other IaC solutions can it use instead?

Cloud Accelerate has multiple capabilities. refer here.

 

for provisioning resources to cloud (aws, azure, gcp, oci, on-prem) you can use cloud native and terraform templates with the CSC plugin.

 

CSC also allows managing your resources in the cloud btw.

 

With terraform you have an option to use the Terraform OSS, Terraform Cloud as well as Terraform enterprise. we also have tested and it is working well with the pure open-source alternative 'opentofu' tool.

 

hope this helps.

@Ram Devanathan1  i would like to ask does ec2 instance OOB template use terraform to execute the operations or does it directly execute on aws. In other sense, do we need terraform integration setup for all terraform template type catalog item which is available OOB. 

the CSC out of box content is working content that is useful for demo and enablement/learning.

these are terraform open-source based. and works with linux server only.

Thanks, Ram!  

CSC plugin is the same as CSM plugin right?

Are any other IaC tools officially supported other than Terraform?
