# Terraform

> Manage durable Kernel infrastructure with Terraform

Use the official Kernel Terraform provider to manage durable infrastructure such as projects and browser pools.

## Install the provider

Add `kernel/kernel` to your Terraform configuration:

```hcl theme={null}
terraform {
  required_providers {
    kernel = {
      source = "kernel/kernel"
    }
  }
}

provider "kernel" {}
```

Set `KERNEL_API_KEY` and, when needed, `KERNEL_PROJECT_ID` in the environment where Terraform runs. You can then manage Kernel projects and browser pools, read existing projects, profiles, proxies, and extensions, and import existing projects or browser pools by ID.

<Note>
  The provider manages durable desired configuration. Use the Kernel SDKs or API for runtime browser operations such as creating sessions, acquiring browsers, releasing browsers, and viewing logs.
