Terraform allows you to define infrastructure as code and deploy cloud resources across multiple cloud providers like GCP and AWS. The document discusses Terraform concepts like providers, resources, modules, and data sources. It explains the Terraform lifecycle of initializing, planning, applying changes, and destroying infrastructure. The presenter then demonstrates how to set up Terraform on Mac and Linux and connect it to GCP before showing a demo of deploying infrastructure on GCP using Terraform configuration files.
