SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

AWS infrastructure changes are risky and require careful review to prevent outages, security gaps, or cost overruns. This skill provides a structured, repeatable checklist to guide reviewers through blast radius, security controls, and rollback planning.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Destructive change detection: identifies plan outputs that delete or replace resources and evaluates the impact.
  • Security and compliance checks: reviews security group rules, IAM policies, and access controls to mitigate exposure.
  • Cost and operational impact: considers instance types, storage changes, and multi-AZ/disaster recovery implications to avoid budget overruns.
  • Workflow integration: aligns with PR reviews and GitHub Actions to standardize infrastructure governance.

Quick Start

Review Terraform PRs by following the checklist to assess destructive changes, security impacts, and rollback readiness.

FAQPage Schema
How do I review AWS Terraform changes for destructive actions and security risks?

To review AWS Terraform changes, use a structured checklist to evaluate plan outputs for destructive resource replacements, verify IAM policies, and assess blast radius before deployment approvals.

What should I look for when reviewing Terraform PRs that modify AWS infrastructure?

When reviewing Terraform PRs, check for destructive changes, validate security group rules and IAM policies, analyze cost implications from instance type changes, and confirm rollback readiness.

Can I integrate an AWS infrastructure checklist into GitHub Actions for deployment approvals?

Yes, you can integrate an AWS infrastructure review checklist into GitHub Actions to standardize PR reviews, enforce security policy compliance, and gate deployments based on blast radius assessments.

How does a structured Terraform review prevent cost overruns in AWS?

A structured Terraform review prevents AWS cost overruns by evaluating storage changes, instance types, and multi-AZ disaster recovery configurations during the PR review process before deployment.

What is blast radius assessment in AWS Terraform deployment planning?

Blast radius assessment in AWS Terraform planning identifies the potential impact of destructive changes and resource replacements, ensuring reviewers understand operational risks before approving infrastructure modifications.

When do I need a rollback readiness check for AWS Terraform deployments?

You need a rollback readiness check for AWS Terraform deployments when plan outputs indicate destructive changes or state management modifications that could cause outages if infrastructure changes fail.
