This document explains how Coder manages Terraform for workspace provisioning, including its use of Terraform templates, the Coder Terraform provider, Terraform execution, and state management. It also details Coder's runner architecture, referred to as "provisioners." This includes the distinction between built-in and external provisioners, their benefits, deployment, the use of tags for job routing, and the difference between provisioners and the coder_agent. A conceptual Mermaid diagram is included to illustrate the overall architecture.
