Terraform CI/CD & Operations

When to Activate

• Setting up GitHub Actions (or other CI) to run terraform plan on pull requests
• Configuring OIDC-based AWS authentication for CI (no stored credentials)
• Importing existing cloud resources under Terraform control
• Deciding between Terraform, Pulumi, and AWS CDK for a new project
• Looking up common Terraform CLI commands
• Reviewing anti-patterns (local state, secrets in tfvars, count=0 to disable)

For project structure, remote state setup, module design, workspace strategy, ECS/IAM patterns — see skill terraform-patterns.
