Project Overview:

We require an expert to transition our manual AWS infrastructure management to an automated, code-based approach using Terraform. This project aims to improve consistency, reliability, and security of our cloud resources.

Who We're Looking For:

A highly skilled and detail-oriented professional with a strong track record of implementing IaC solutions. You should be a problem-solver who can translate complex infrastructure requirements into clean, efficient, and well-documented Terraform code. You are passionate about automation and have a deep understanding of AWS services.

Business Problem:

Our AWS infrastructure is currently managed manually, leading to "configuration drift" between environments and making it difficult to replicate setups. This creates a high risk of errors and slows down the provisioning of new resources.

Business Path After Completion:

Our infrastructure will be fully version-controlled and auditable. New environments can be spun up in minutes, and configuration errors will be virtually eliminated, resulting in a more stable and scalable system.

Freelancer Responsibilities:

• Analyze our existing AWS architecture.
• Write production-grade Terraform code for our core infrastructure (VPCs, EC2, RDS, S3).
• Set up a state management strategy (e.g., using S3 backend).
• Integrate Terraform with our version control system.
• Provide detailed documentation on the IaC setup.

Required Expertise:

• Deep expertise with Terraform.
• Strong knowledge of AWS services.
• Experience with Git.
• Understanding of modular and reusable IaC design.

Employer Expectations:

• Clean, well-documented code following best practices.
• Commit and push code to our Git repository daily.
• Availability for a kick-off and final review meeting.

Deliverables:

• A complete set of Terraform files for the specified infrastructure.
• Documentation on how to manage and extend the IaC.
• A demonstration of the automated provisioning process.
