I will present Terraform, a tool that allows you to manage the infrastructure as a code. We will know the characteristics, features, history and paradigm shift. Two cases of use of Terraform will be demonstrated: How to manage the installation of Zabbix with Docker containers and how to interact with the Zabbix API.

actions to be properly tested before they are
applied in production.

So we can think of versioning, continuous
