Terraform Infrastructure

A solid foundation for managing cloud infrastructure with Terraform that covers the essentials: remote state with S3 and DynamoDB locking, multi-cloud provider setup, and modular architecture. The reference guides walk through AWS infrastructure modules, variable management, and deployment scripts. This is most useful if you're setting up Terraform for the first time or standardizing how your team handles infrastructure as code across environments. The best practices section is actually helpful, emphasizing state management and module organization over superficial advice. It won't teach you Terraform from scratch, but it gives you a reasonable starting structure and keeps you from common mistakes like local state files or hardcoded values.

Overview

Build scalable infrastructure as code with Terraform, managing AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premise resources through declarative configuration, remote state, and automated provisioning.

When to Use

Cloud infrastructure provisioning
Multi-environment management (dev, staging, prod)
Infrastructure versioning and code review
Cost tracking and resource optimization
Disaster recovery and environment replication
Automated infrastructure testing
Cross-region deployments

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

# terraform/main.tf
terraform {
  required_version = ">= 1.0"

  required_providers {
    aws = {
      source  = "hashicorp/aws"
      version = "~> 5.0"
    }
  }

  # Remote state configuration
  backend "s3" {
    bucket         = "terraform-state-prod"
    key            = "prod/terraform.tfstate"
    region         = "us-east-1"
    encrypt        = true
    dynamodb_table = "terraform-locks"
  }
}
