Can it help secure my cloud infrastructure?

Yes, it enforces core principles like IAM least-privilege, mandatory encryption for state files, and referencing secrets by ARN rather than hardcoding values.

Does this skill help with cost management?

Absolutely. It includes standardized tagging patterns for CostCenter, Project, and Environment to enable precise cloud bill analysis and ownership tracking.

What IaC tools does this skill support?

This skill primarily focuses on Terraform, AWS CDK (TypeScript), and CloudFormation, specifically tailored for data infrastructure use cases.

How does it help with environment management?

It provides patterns for using variables and tfvars to ensure that the exact same code is used across dev, staging, and production, minimizing 'works on my machine' deployment issues.

Deployment & DevOps

Standardizes cloud infrastructure for data systems using proven Terraform, AWS CDK, and CloudFormation patterns.

The Data IaC skill provides Claude with expert-level guidance for architecting and managing infrastructure as code, specifically optimized for data-heavy environments. It enforces critical best practices such as environment parity across dev and production, remote state management with locking, and modular code structures to prevent configuration drift. This skill is essential for teams looking to automate data lake provisioning, secure Glue jobs, and implement robust cost-tracking through standardized tagging strategies, ensuring that infrastructure remains reviewable, repeatable, and recoverable.
