+# among the benefits of terraform, is that is deploys the resources rather quick. It identifies dependencies and
+# deploys independent resources in parallel.
+# "terraform graph" creates a dependency graph of the resource specified in the .tf file
+# another benefit of terraform is, that it does the heavy lifting to support the APIs of multiple cloud
+# providers and supports way more features and cloud services than, e.g., libcloud, hence it's quite popular
+#
+# among the drawbacks however is, that it comes with its own definition language and does not offer the full
+# flexibility of a programming language. In this regard, libcloud, boto3, openstack-sdk etc. are way more flexible
+#
+# we discuss different cloud service deployment solutions and their pros/cons in the course
