Infrastructure as Code Template

This template helps you implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) practices using tools like Terraform, CloudFormation, or Ansible to manage infrastructure deployments with version control and automation.

Sample Prompt

Create Infrastructure as Code for a web application deployment:
- VPC setup with public/private subnets and security groups
- Load balancer configuration with SSL termination
- Auto-scaling group for web servers with health checks
- RDS database setup with backup and monitoring
- CI/CD pipeline integration for infrastructure updates
- Environment separation (dev, staging, production)

What This Template Covers

• Infrastructure definition using declarative configuration files and templates
• Version control integration for tracking infrastructure changes over time
• Environment management with parameterization and template reuse
• Deployment automation through CI/CD pipelines and orchestration tools
• State management and drift detection for infrastructure consistency
• Security and compliance considerations in infrastructure provisioning

Best Practices

1. Use version control for all infrastructure configuration files
2. Implement modular designs with reusable components and templates
3. Separate environments clearly with different parameter files or workspaces
4. Test infrastructure changes in non-production environments first
5. Implement proper state management and backup procedures
6. Use least privilege principles for access control and permissions
7. Monitor infrastructure drift and implement automated remediation
8. Document infrastructure architecture and dependencies clearly

When to Use This Template

• Implementing repeatable and consistent infrastructure deployments
• Managing multi-environment infrastructure configurations
• Automating infrastructure provisioning and updates
• Ensuring compliance and security in infrastructure management
• Scaling infrastructure operations for growing applications
