Terraform Management FAQs

Question 1

How does it handle multi-cloud and multi-environment setups?

Accepted Answer

The skill utilizes a dual strategy: Service-First for cross-environment tools (like GitHub or Okta) and Environment-First for cloud-specific infrastructure. It automatically mirrors existing directory structures and naming conventions to maintain consistency across GCP, AWS, and Azure.

Question 2

How does it improve the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) workflow?

Accepted Answer

It automates tedious tasks such as generating standardized resource naming, configuring GCS backend prefixes based on directory paths, and aligning code with TFLint patterns, allowing teams to scale their infrastructure without manual overhead.

Question 3

What is the Terraform Management Claude Code Skill?

Accepted Answer

It is a specialized capability for Claude Code designed to help engineers design, create, and audit large-scale Terraform and OpenTofu configurations using standardized enterprise patterns, such as Cell Architecture and isolated state management.

Question 4

Can this skill deploy infrastructure directly?

Accepted Answer

No. To ensure safety and prevent accidental resource destruction, this skill is restricted to planning, validating, and writing configurations. It never executes 'apply' or 'destroy' commands, keeping the final deployment control in human hands.

Question 5

What security features does this skill implement?

Accepted Answer

It enforces modern security patterns including Workload Identity for Kubernetes, Ephemeral Secrets via Vault (Terraform 1.10+), and strict lifecycle rules like 'prevent_destroy' for critical stateful resources.
