Discovery and Infrastructure Audit
We begin by assessing your current infrastructure, cloud footprint, and provisioning workflows. Our team maps out dependencies, configurations, security policies, and compliance requirements.
We identify inefficiencies, manual tasks, and areas prone to configuration drift. This discovery phase informs a roadmap for IaC implementation, ensuring it’s aligned with your technology stack and operational needs.
IaC Strategy and Toolchain Selection
Based on your requirements and existing systems, we help you select the right IaC tools—such as Terraform for cross-cloud provisioning, CloudFormation for AWS-native stacks, or Ansible for post-provisioning configuration.
We define a governance model for managing infrastructure code, including branching strategies, change approvals, and integration with CI/CD systems. Tooling decisions are aligned with your scalability, security, and compliance expectations.
Template Development and Modularization
We write modular infrastructure templates that encapsulate compute, storage, networking, identity, and monitoring components.
These modules are parameterized for reusability across projects or environments. We follow best practices such as state management, output variables, and tagging conventions to ensure clarity and scalability. Templates are version-controlled in Git and subject to peer review.
Automation and Pipeline Integration
Next, we integrate infrastructure provisioning into your CI/CD pipelines or GitOps workflows.
This enables automated deployment and environment creation upon code merges, pull requests, or scheduled jobs. We set up secure secret management, remote state backends, and locking mechanisms to ensure reliable and concurrent execution.
Automated rollbacks are implemented in case of failed deployments.
Security, Compliance, and Policy-as-Code
Security is embedded into the IaC lifecycle. We implement policy-as-code using tools like Sentinel or Open Policy Agent (OPA) to enforce rules like “no public-facing databases” or “only use approved VM images.” IAM policies, VPC configurations, and encryption settings are codified and validated automatically.
This ensures every infrastructure change meets internal security and compliance standards.
Testing, Validation, and Monitoring
Before deployment, infrastructure code is tested using linting tools, dry runs, and automated tests for configuration correctness.
We also validate deployments using pre-defined criteria, such as uptime checks or service endpoint verifications. Once live, infrastructure is monitored using tools like Prometheus, CloudWatch, or Datadog to track resource utilization, health, and anomalies.
Documentation, Handoff, and Training
We provide detailed documentation for all infrastructure templates, deployment procedures, and recovery steps.
If needed, we conduct training sessions to onboard your internal teams to the IaC workflow. We also assist with handoff of repository access, secrets management, and ongoing support procedures to ensure long-term sustainability of the setup.
