Can I use this for multiple cloud providers?

Yes, the skill covers provider-agnostic patterns applicable to AWS, GCP, Azure, and Kubernetes environments.

Does it support specific IaC tools like Terraform?

Yes, it includes specific architectural best practices for designing modules in both Terraform and Pulumi.

How does this skill help with infrastructure governance?

It provides patterns for embedding policy-as-code and guardrails directly into IaC templates to ensure security and compliance are enforced automatically during provisioning.

What is the primary goal of self-service infrastructure?

The goal is to enable developers to provision and manage resources independently without filing tickets, while maintaining organizational standards through automation.

Cloud Infrastructure

Architects automated infrastructure provisioning systems and reusable IaC modules with built-in governance and guardrails.

About

This skill empowers developers to design and implement self-service infrastructure platforms that eliminate operational bottlenecks. It provides comprehensive patterns for building template-based provisioning systems, secure Terraform and Pulumi modules, and automated policy enforcement using tools like OPA or Sentinel. By balancing developer autonomy with organizational control, it helps teams transition from ticket-based workflows to scalable, automated environments that ensure consistency, security, and compliance across cloud providers.

Key Features

Reusable and opinionated IaC module design for Terraform and Pulumi
Best practices for infrastructure versioning and lifecycle management
12 GitHub stars
Architectural patterns for infrastructure self-service portals and APIs
Implementation of automated infrastructure guardrails and policy-as-code
Workflows for environment provisioning, cost estimation, and validation

Use Cases

Reducing infrastructure request bottlenecks by automating resource provisioning
Standardizing cloud resource configurations across large engineering teams
Building internal developer platforms (IDP) with embedded security controls
