#1 Terraform
What it is: With compatibility across cloud computing giants such as Google Cloud Platform, Microsoft Azure, IBM Cloud, and Amazon Web Services, HashiCorp’s Terraform is an asset for building, changing, and versioning dynamic infrastructure. Terraform is an open source provisioning tool that facilitates an infrastructure-as-code (IaC) operating model for the creation of server and associated services. Using IaC enables automation in infrastructure and defines infrastructure in easy-to-read configuration files using HashiCorp Configuration Language (HCL). Why it made the list: Among the advantages of Terraform is the ability to translate HCL language into JSON (JavaScript Object Notation), multi-cloud support capabilities, the potential for incremental changes to resources while being able to lock modules prior to state changes, the ability to import existing resources into a Terraform state, and simplistic provision of support for software-defined networking. The efficiency, automation, and flexibility Terraform affords make it a valuable enterprise tool and one of our Top Tech picks for 2022.
#2 Snowflake
What it is: Snowflake is a single Software as a Service (SaaS) platform for data warehousing, data lakes, data engineering, and secure data sharing. Snowflake automates the management of data storage, while enabling query processing for data analysis as well as high speed scalability. Why it made the list: Snowflake takes the hassle of disorganized semi-structured and structured data from heterogeneous sources and manages it in a simple, secure, and efficient way with an intuitive interface and full automation. With all components of service running on cloud infrastructures and no packaged software or third-party maintenance, management, or upgrading, Snowflake gives organizations straightforward mobilization of data at any scale with speed.
