# Terraform Internals
This section covers the internals of Terraform and explains how
plans are generated, the lifecycle of a provider, etc. The goal
of this section is to remove any notion of "magic" from Terraform.
We want you to be able to trust and understand what Terraform is
doing to function.
-> **Note:** Knowledge of Terraform internals is not
required to use Terraform. If you aren't interested in the internals
of Terraform, you may safely skip this section.
