provision-infrastructure-terraform

Implement infrastructure as code using Terraform to provision, version, and manage cloud resources across AWS, Azure, GCP, and other providers.

Create organized directory structure with backend configuration and provider setup.

Expected: Terraform initializes successfully, downloads provider plugins, configures remote backend. .terraform/ directory created with provider binaries. State backend connection verified.

Provision and manage cloud infrastructure using Terraform with HCL modules, remote state backends, workspaces, and plan/apply workflow. Implement infrastructure as code patterns with variable management, output values, and state locking for team collaboration. Use when provisioning new cloud infrastructure, migrating from ClickOps or CloudFormation to declarative IaC, managing multi-environment infrastructure, versioning infrastructure changes alongside application code, or enforcing standards through reusable modules.
