Manual Console Changes, Configuration Drift & Broken State Files

Terraform Cloud Drift Remediation & IaC Codification

Eliminate manual cloud changes and broken state files. We codify 100% of your cloud infrastructure into modular Terraform/OpenTofu with automated CI/CD.

Diagnostic Symptoms

Indicators That Your Platform Has This Bottleneck

Common performance, cost, and reliability warning signs that require immediate engineering remediation.

!

Manual Clicks in AWS Console Breaking Terraform

Engineers making manual cloud tweaks, causing terraform apply to error on unmanaged resources.

!

Monolithic 2,000-Line main.tf State Files

State lock contention and 15-minute plan times caused by single massive state files.

!

No CI/CD PR Previews for Infrastructure Changes

Engineers applying infrastructure changes from local laptops without peer review.

Execution Playbook

Step-by-Step Remediation Plan

Our proven 4-phase engineering methodology for eliminating this bottleneck with zero downtime.

01

Automated Cloud Resource Discovery

Scanning AWS/GCP accounts to identify unmanaged resources and drift using former2.

02

Modular Architecture & State Splitting

Decomposing monolithic state into isolated modules (VPC, EKS, RDS) with Terragrunt.

03

Automated terraform import Execution

Importing existing cloud resources into code with zero downtime or resource destruction.

04

GitHub Actions Plan & Apply Pipeline

Deploying Atlantis or GitHub Actions to preview plans on pull requests with OIDC credentials.

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions About This Remediation

How do you import existing cloud resources without destroying them?

We write matching Terraform resource definitions and execute terraform import, verifying with terraform plan that zero destructive changes are scheduled.

Why split monolithic Terraform state files?

Splitting state into isolated modules (Networking, Compute, Data) isolates blast radius, eliminates lock contention, and speeds up plan times by 10x.
