# Using Cloud Services Catalog Terraform Connector

Understand the high-level use cases and usage workflows for the Cloud Services Catalog Terraform Connector application.

-   **[Associate the Terraform input parameters with the Cloud Provisioning and Governance catalog item](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/cloud-configuration-governance/terraform-catalog-metadata-ingest.md)**  
Create a JSON file to store Terraform template variables and map them to discovered resources, pools, filters, and catalog item provision form fields.
-   **[Populate the datacenter in Terraform-based catalog items](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/cloud-configuration-governance/terraform-auto-pop-location.md)**  
In any request for a catalog item using Terraform templates, the required Location value specifies the datacenter or region where to provision the configuration items and stacks. You can use a variable named **region** in the Terraform template to map to the Location field on the request form.
-   **[Create a catalog item from the Terraform template](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/cloud-configuration-governance/catalog-item-terraform-template.md)**  
Create a catalog item from the Terraform template to request cloud resource provisioning. Activated catalog items appear in the cloud user portal.
-   **[Manage the Terraform template-based catalog items](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/cloud-configuration-governance/create-or-update-terraform-based-catalog-item.md)**  
Use an Infrastructure as Code \(IaC\) change task to create or update the Terraform template-based catalog items. The IaC change task helps ensure that the catalog items are aligned with the latest infrastructure specifications coded in the Terraform template.
-   **[Map credentials between Cloud Provisioning and Governance and Terraform](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/cloud-configuration-governance/map-cloud-mgmt-terraform-credentials.md)**  
Map credential types and service account fields between Cloud Provisioning and Governance and Terraform using Credential Mapping.
-   **[Associate the Terraform environment variable with a resource block](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/australia/markdown/australia/it-operations-management/cloud-configuration-governance/associate-terraform-variable-with-datacenter-resource-block.md)**  
Associate the Terraform environment variable with the Cloud Provisioning and Governance datacenter resource block. After associating the environment variable, you can use it to pass custom inputs parameters during resource deployment through Terraform Enterprise.
