Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Automating Infrastructure Provisioning

I am a proponent of managing infrastructure as code to bring automation, versioning, and repeatability to cloud environments. My experience is primarily with Terraform for provisioning and managing cloud resources on GCP.

This approach was fundamental to managing the complex infrastructure for the DJPConnect project. By defining our resources (VPCs, Kubernetes clusters, databases) in Terraform configuration files, we could reliably create and modify environments, track changes through version control, and collaborate effectively on infrastructure design. I also have experience with Ansible for configuration management tasks.

Key Competencies

• Tools: Terraform, Ansible.
• Declarative Syntax: Writing infrastructure definitions using HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language).
• Cloud Automation: Provisioning and managing GCP resources with Terraform.
• State Management: Understanding and managing Terraform state.
• Version Control: Storing infrastructure code in Git to track changes and collaborate.
• Configuration Management: Using Ansible for server configuration and software deployment.
