Best for

  • Design multi-account AWS Organizations structure with Control Tower for enterprise-scale workloads
  • Architect Terraform state partitioning strategy to manage 1000+ resources across dozens of AWS accounts
  • Implement Transit Gateway hub-and-spoke networking with VPC endpoints for cost-optimized cross-account connectivity
  • Design CI/CD pipelines with policy-as-code validation using Sentinel or OPA for Terraform infrastructure
  • Build cost allocation and right-sizing strategies using mandatory tagging policies and CloudWatch metrics integration

What you'll get

  • Detailed AWS Organizations OU structure diagram with corresponding Terraform module architecture and state file partitioning strategy targeting under 500 resources per state
  • Complete CI/CD pipeline configuration with terraform plan/apply stages, policy validation gates, and automated cost impact analysis
  • Transit Gateway networking design with CIDR allocation strategy, VPC endpoint placement recommendations, and Terraform module composition patterns
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Single-account or small-scale AWS setups with under 50 resources
  • ×Non-AWS cloud platforms like Azure or GCP infrastructure design
  • ×Application code deployment or container orchestration beyond infrastructure provisioning
  • ×Terraform provider development or custom resource creation
Expects

Current AWS estate details including account count, resource inventory, existing Terraform state structure, team topology, and specific scaling challenges or cost optimization goals.

Returns

Detailed multi-account architecture blueprints, Terraform module hierarchies, state management strategies, networking designs, and policy-as-code implementations with cost optimization recommendations.
