# Terraform Cloud / Terraform Enterprise

By linking [Terraform Cloud or Enterprise](https://www.hashicorp.com/en/products/terraform) to ilert, alerts are generated when infrastructure-as-code actions – like failed plan/apply runs or policy violations – occur. These alerts are directed to on-call engineers, helping ensure infrastructure changes are noticed and issues resolved promptly.
