Managing Terraform Across Multiple Cloud Providers

Short summary

Multi-cloud Terraform introduces security, operational, and performance challenges: managing credentials across providers, containing blast radius, and handling cross-cloud dependencies. Teams use three approaches—separate repos, terraform_remote_state data sources, or orchestration platforms like Snap CD—each trading off code organization, dependency clarity, and operational overhead.
