⏚ Summary
What this engagement is, plainly.
IaC is easy to start and hard to do well. We design IaC programs where the code accurately reflects the running system, drift is caught early, and 'click-ops' becomes the exception.
Problems we solve
You have Terraform but half your cloud is still managed by hand.
State files are in the wrong places, modules are duplicated, and 'terraform apply' makes people nervous.
Drift between code and reality keeps biting in incident retros.
⏚ Approach
How we run this engagement.
- 01Phase
State discipline
State storage, locking, and access controls done properly. State splits planned, not accidental. Drift detection automated.
- 02Phase
Module architecture
Composable modules with versioned interfaces. New environments are config, not copy-paste.
- 03Phase
Policy + safety
Plan output reviewed by humans for high-blast-radius changes; OPA / Sentinel policies for the rest. Apply is boring, on purpose.
⏚ Deliverables
What you get, signed off.
IaC architecture + module library
State management + drift detection
Policy bundle (OPA / Sentinel)
Workspace / environment hierarchy
Onboarding + safety runbooks
⏚ Stack we typically use
Tools, not religion.
We pick on workload and team shape, not on fashion. Anything below is a default — swappable when your context demands.
- Terraform
- Pulumi
- Crossplane
- Atlantis
- OPA
- Terragrunt
Outcome
An IaC program where the code is the truth, drift is detected automatically, and 'apply' is a routine action — not a high-stakes event.
