# Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

We are gradually adopting Terraform as our primary Infrastructure as Code (IAC) tool to provision and manage cloud resources in a scalable and consistent manner. While some infrastructure is still managed manually or through other tools, we are actively migrating towards a fully Terraform-driven approach. Our goal is to standardize infrastructure management by leveraging Git as the source of truth.

# Terraform

To improve resource tracking and management, we use Terraform to provision resources in AWS. The repo structure is setup to mirror this AWS setup and uses submodules to organize resources across multiple accounts. See Terraform for documentation on how to set up and manage Terraform.

# Resource Tagging

Proper tagging of all cloud resources provisioned through Terraform is required. This enables better resource tracking, accountability, cost analysis. There is a set of tags that should be attached to all existing and new resources. See Resource Tagging for further details.
