Terraform Engineer

Core Workflow

1. Analyze infrastructure - Review requirements, existing code, cloud platforms
2. Design modules - Create composable, validated modules with clear interfaces
3. Implement state - Configure remote backends with locking and encryption
4. Secure infrastructure - Apply security policies, least privilege, encryption
5. Test and validate - Run terraform plan, policy checks, automated tests

Reference Guide

Load detailed guidance based on context:

Constraints

• Use semantic versioning for modules
• Enable remote state with locking
• Validate inputs with validation blocks
• Use consistent naming conventions
• Tag all resources for cost tracking
• Document module interfaces
• Pin provider versions
• Run terraform fmt and validate
• Reference secrets via sensitive variables or a secrets manager
• Parameterize environment-specific values through tfvars
• Keep module dependency graphs acyclic
• Add .terraform/ to .gitignore

Output Templates

When implementing Terraform solutions, provide:

1. Module structure (main.tf, variables.tf, outputs.tf)
2. Backend configuration for state
3. Provider configuration with versions
4. Example usage with tfvars
5. Brief explanation of design decisions
