+=== Terraform Deployment Engine
+
+Terraform can optionally be used to create the cloud infrastructure. This will attempt to create the cloud provider assets at the `infra` (network, storage and compute) and `plat` (IAM policies and roles) runlevels using Terraform resources. A list of Terraform related parameters are shown in the table below. 
+
+.List of parameters used by Terraform deployment engine
+[cols="1,1,1,1"]
+|===
+|Parameter|Description|Default Value|Notes
+
+|`infra_deployment_engine`
+|The engine (ansible or terraform) that will be used to create the infrastructure resources.
+| `ansible`
+| Needs to be set to `terraform` for Terraform-deployment.
+
+|`terraform_base_dir`
+| Top-level directory where all Terraform assets will be placed. Includes processed Jinja template files for Terraform,  timestamped artefact of Terraform files and the workspace directory where terraform apply/destroy is run.
+| `~/.config/cloudera-deploy/terraform`
+|
+
+|`terraform_state_storage`
+|The type of backend storage to use for the Terraform state. 
+| `local`
+| Current options are `local` or `remote_s3`
+
+|`terraform_auto_remote_state`
+| Flag to allow Cloudera Deploy automatically provision remote state resources as part of its initialization. This will also teardown these resources during cleanup.
+| `False`
+|
+
+|`terraform_remote_state_bucket`
+|The name of the Terraform state storage bucket. 
+| 
+| Required if using `remote_s3` state storage. Value is derived from `name_prefix` if terraform_auto_remote_state is True.
+
+|`terraform_remote_state_lock_table`
+|The name of the table to track locks of remote Terraform state.
+| 
+| Required if using `remote_s3` state storage. Value is derived from `name_prefix` if terraform_auto_remote_state is True.
+|===

 == Definitions
 
 Cloudera Deploy uses a set of configuration files within a directory to define and coordinate a deployment. This directory also stores any artifacts created during the deployment, such as Ansible inventory files, CDP environment readouts, etc.
