Video: Reduce costs with HCP Terraform ephemeral workspaces

Cloud waste is a significant issue for organizations of all sizes. HCP Terraform's ephemeral workspaces offer a solution by automatically cleaning up temporary resources, helping to optimize cloud spending.

Unused or forgotten infrastructure not only increases costs but also introduces potential security risks. However, identifying and removing these resources is often challenging and easily overlooked.

HCP Terraform ephemeral workspaces allow you to schedule automatic destruction of resources, either as a one-time event or based on inactivity. This automation reduces the manual effort required to manage temporary resources, enabling organizations to optimize cloud costs and enhance developer productivity.
