Terraform Enterprise
Terraform Enterprise is HashiCorp's self-hosted distribution of HCP Terraform. Terraform Enterprise offers a private instance of HCP Terraform application, with no resource limits and additional enterprise-grade architectural features like audit logging and SAML single sign-on.
HCP Terraform and Terraform Enterprise are different distributions of the same application. When this documentation refers to HCP Terraform, the information applies to Terraform Enterprise unless specifically stated otherwise.
Introducing HCP Terraform: Effective April 22, 2024, Terraform Cloud is now HCP Terraform. To learn more about this name change, refer to Introducing the Infrastructure Cloud.
Before mid-2019, we referred to all distributions of HCP Terraform as Terraform Enterprise, and the self-hosted distribution as Private Terraform Enterprise (PTFE). These older names sometimes appear in supporting tools, like the tfe Terraform provider, which you can also use with HCP Terraform.
