AWS infrastructure via Terraform

On the project, this client needed to create an infrastructure on AWS that had a certain configuration, but repeating the same configuration steps every time was not a good solution, because it took a lot of time. It was effortless to make a mistake and have to recreate this structure.

Terraform turned out to be an ideal solution for this problem, because it uses a declarative approach, that is, by describing the infrastructure in the form of code, we could determine which infrastructure is needed for a certain service. It allowed us to manage the infrastructure in the same way as the software code, making it much easier to manage and track changes. Also, Terraform provides the ability to scale the infrastructure according to needs. In addition, Terraform allowed us to define security rules, such as access to resources at the infrastructure level, which helps ensure system security. With Terraform, we managed infrastructure code versions via Git, which allowed us to track and roll back to previous infrastructure states.

Thus, we have achieved that it is not necessary to repeat the same actions to create infrastructure on AWS and we have made it all happen in a declarative approach through Terraform because of this it has become easier to manage it all, the infrastructure has become much more manageable, easily scalable, as well as we added versioning via Git.
