Why automate?

Manual cloud changes are difficult to review and repeat. A Git-based workflow gives teams a clearer history of what changed and why.

Suggested workflow

  1. Describe infrastructure as code.
  2. Open a pull request.
  3. Run validation checks.
  4. Review the plan.
  5. Merge and deploy.
terraform fmt -check
terraform validate
terraform plan
