The Challenge

During their lifetime as Cloud Engineers our experts sat down and envisioned how they could prevent some of the pitfalls they've encountered over the course of their careers. Pitfalls included the ever ongoing battle of legacy code, performing essential tasks long after its initial creators have left the building. Making top level modifications to an incoherent infrastructure, resulting in manual rollouts that needed babysitting throughout the process. Tackling blind spots that occurred with having many resources in many locations, but lacking the ability to manage them all from one spot.

The Solution

Simplification proved the answer. Defining the entire account structure in code creates a solid foundation for sharing resources and building automation and integrations on top of that. Making it a very modular structure where pieces can easily be altered or switched out.

The design illustrates one of the many possibilities of integrating Terraform with popular tools and defining the levels of responsibilities within an organization:

  • Jira: The Engineering Manager approves an account request
  • Terraform Repo: Sets up the account with predefined parameters, then proceeds to roll out the accounts ready for developers to use
  • Microsoft EntraID: Terraform has created groups in the identity manager and an admin type team can determine who has what access by placing users in these groups
  • AWS: Application Developers can now use the account within the constraints set in the predefined parameters
  • AWS, Azure, GCP
  • Design, Plan, Build
  • Everything in code, speed, consistancy, repeatability, ...
  • Centrally managed cloud infrastructure
  • Self-service cloud
  • Centralised security baseline
