Manage your AWS data engineering infrastructure declaratively with Terraform to ensure consistency and repeatable deployments. It uses versioned state management to handle the provisioning of S3, EC2, and IAM resources, preventing configuration drift across environments.

Yes, you need both AWS CLI and Terraform installed and configured on your machine to automate the provisioning of S3 and EC2 resources. These dependencies are required to authenticate with AWS and execute the infrastructure-as-code deployment commands.

The best way to manage state for AWS data engineering environments is using Terraform's versioned state management. This declarative approach tracks your infrastructure changes, ensuring consistent and repeatable deployments of your S3, EC2, and IAM resources.

Yes, you can use infrastructure as code to deploy IAM roles and S3 buckets for data engineering. This Skill uses Terraform to automate the provisioning and management of these specific AWS resources, simplifying and accelerating your environment setup.

A limitation of managing cloud computing infrastructure as code for data engineering is the strict dependency on local prerequisites. You must have AWS CLI and Terraform properly installed and configured before you can initialize and apply any infrastructure changes.
