Engineering organizations importing click-ops cloud resources into clean, modular Infrastructure as Code—or untangling monolithic Terraform state files—frequently search to hire a freelance Terraform & OpenTofu IaC programmer. I am Aldian Fazrihady, a Google Cloud Certified Professional Cloud Architect and Senior Freelance Infrastructure Programmer.

Core Terraform & OpenTofu Production Capabilities

  • Zero-Downtime Click-Ops to Terraform Import (`import` blocks): Codifying existing live AWS (VPC, ALB, ASG, ECS, RDS, S3, CloudFront, IAM) and Google Cloud (Cloud Run, GKE, Cloud SQL, BigQuery, IAM) infrastructure into Terraform `main.tf` modules without recreating or disrupting live resources.
  • Multi-Environment State Isolation & Terragrunt: Structuring remote state backends (S3 + DynamoDB locking / GCS) across `dev`, `staging`, and `prod` with automated Atlantis / GitHub Actions `terraform plan` PR comments.
  • Policy-as-Code & Security Scanning (`Checkov` / `tfsec` / `tflint`): Blocking public S3 buckets, unencrypted disks, and overly permissive `0.0.0.0/0` security group rules before `terraform apply`.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why should we never make manual AWS/GCP console or CLI changes when Terraform manages our cloud?

Manual console/CLI changes create configuration drift that gets overwritten on the next `terraform apply`. Updating `main.tf` and applying via Terraform guarantees 100% reproducible, peer-reviewed infrastructure.
