Best for

  • Designing multi-cloud Terraform modules with consistent provider patterns across AWS, Azure, GCP
  • Implementing Terragrunt-based DRY architectures for enterprise infrastructure code organization
  • Setting up drift detection pipelines with automated remediation workflows for production environments
  • Building workspace strategies for team-based Terraform deployments with proper state isolation
  • Architecting remote state backends with locking, encryption, and disaster recovery procedures

What you'll get

  • Complete module directory structure with variables.tf, outputs.tf, main.tf showing composition patterns, plus versioning strategy and registry setup
  • Terragrunt configuration hierarchy with environment-specific terragrunt.hcl files, remote state configuration, and dependency management
  • CI/CD pipeline YAML with drift detection jobs, state validation steps, and automated remediation workflows with alerting integration
Not designed for ↓
  • ×Writing basic Terraform resources or simple configurations (use terraform-infrastructure-architect instead)
  • ×Cloud-specific infrastructure design without Terraform module architecture considerations
  • ×Day-to-day operational tasks like applying Terraform plans or troubleshooting resource creation
  • ×Non-Terraform infrastructure-as-code tools like Pulumi, CloudFormation, or ARM templates
Expects

Infrastructure requirements including scale (team size, environment count), cloud providers, existing Terraform setup, and specific challenges with state management or module composition.

Returns

Detailed Terraform module architecture with code examples, state management strategy, Terragrunt configuration patterns, and implementation roadmap with testing approaches.
