Can this skill help with cloud cost management?

Absolutely. It includes standardized tagging patterns for CostCenter, Project, and Owner to ensure all provisioned resources are easily trackable for billing.

Does it include security best practices?

Yes, it enforces least privilege IAM roles, mandates remote state locking, and provides patterns for referencing secrets via ARNs rather than hardcoding them.

What infrastructure tools does the Data IaC skill support?

This skill specifically focuses on Terraform, AWS CDK, and CloudFormation, providing best-practice patterns for each.

How does this skill handle environment parity?

It promotes using the same codebase for all environments (Dev, Staging, Prod) while utilizing variable files (tfvars) and environment-specific parameters to manage differences.

Cloud Infrastructure

Standardizes data infrastructure management using Terraform, AWS CDK, and CloudFormation patterns.

About

This skill provides Claude with specialized guidance for architecting and deploying robust data infrastructure through proven patterns. It offers standardized templates for Terraform modules, AWS CDK constructs, and CloudFormation, emphasizing environment parity, secure remote state management, and comprehensive tagging for cost allocation. By enforcing best practices like least privilege IAM and secure secret handling, it helps developers build scalable, maintainable, and production-ready data platforms while preventing common anti-patterns like local state storage or manual console configurations.
