// Infrastructure as Code
Terraform
Declarative infrastructure provisioning across cloud providers.
5+ years hands-on experience
// Overview
How we use Terraform
Terraform is our standard IaC tool for cloud infrastructure provisioning. All cloud resources, VPCs, databases, compute, security groups, defined in version-controlled Terraform code. We use Terraform Cloud or Atlantis for state management and collaborative infrastructure workflows.
// Use cases
- AWS, GCP, and Azure infrastructure provisioning
- Multi-environment infrastructure management
- Disaster recovery infrastructure
- Kubernetes cluster provisioning
- Database and networking setup
// Why it matters
Multi-cloud support
Single tool for AWS, GCP, Azure, and dozens of SaaS providers, consistent workflow across cloud boundaries and third-party service provisioning.
State management
Remote state in Terraform Cloud or S3 enables team collaboration and tracks the relationship between declared configuration and actual cloud resources.
Plan before apply
terraform plan shows exactly what will change before applying, enabling peer review of infrastructure changes and preventing accidental resource destruction.
// Production patterns
How we ship with Terraform
Modules for VPC, RDS, ECS, and ALB reused across clients, environment divergence via tfvars, not copy-paste roots.
Atlantis or Terraform Cloud runs plan on every PR; apply restricted to release branches with approval gates.
Drift detection monthly; `prevent_destroy` lifecycle on stateful resources unless explicitly approved.
// Proof
The network and infrastructure work in our EC2 private-subnet migration › was executed through exactly this module-and-plan-review workflow.
// FAQ
Terraform: common questions
Terraform vs CloudFormation?+
Terraform default for multi-service teams; CloudFormation when AWS-only and org policy requires native stacks.
Who owns state files?+
Remote state in S3 + DynamoDB lock or Terraform Cloud, never local state on laptops for production.
Can you import existing infra?+
Yes, `terraform import` with discovery phase documenting what was hand-built before module adoption.
