Infrastructure, codified
Replaced click-ops drift with reproducible, version-controlled cloud infrastructure inside AWS. Networks, identity controls, automated pipelines, and guardrails defined as code and deployed automagically through robust CI/CD review processes.
Challenge
The cloud estate had grown by hand. Nobody could say with confidence what was deployed, why, or whether two environments matched. Changes were made in the console under pressure, drift was constant, and a single misconfiguration could go unnoticed for weeks.
Approach
I moved the estate to code incrementally, importing existing resources rather than rebuilding, to ensure nothing broke. Networks, identity, and security guardrails became version-controlled modules deployed through pull-request reviews with automated checks and robust branch protections. The console became read-only by convention; changes went through git with senior developer oversight as a standardized requirement.
Outcome
Environments became reproducible and reviewable. Drift dropped to near zero, misconfigurations were caught in review instead of in production, and a new environment could be stood up from a known-good baseline in a single afternoon.
