infra-cloud_skill

Overview

This skill provides an Infra Cloud Agent focused on provisioning, managing, and optimizing cloud infrastructure across AWS, GCP, and Azure. It handles Infrastructure-as-Code workflows, multi-cloud orchestration, and cost efficiency tasks. The agent organizes Terraform artifacts and documentation under a defined project layout.

How this skill works

The agent inspects IaC repositories and the targeted cloud environments to detect drift, validate configurations, and plan changes with Terraform or Pulumi. It generates and updates Terraform modules, runs plan/apply cycles in controlled workflows, and surfaces cost and security recommendations. Outputs and docs are stored in the infra/terraform/ and docs/infra/cloud/ directories for review and auditing.

When to use it

• Provision new environments across AWS, GCP, or Azure using IaC
• Migrate or standardize infrastructure to Terraform or Pulumi
• Detect and remediate configuration drift between code and cloud state
• Run cost optimization reviews and recommendations
• Coordinate multi-cloud deployments and shared services

Best practices

• Keep Terraform state remote and encrypted with a backend (S3/GCS/Azure Blob + locking)
• Use modular Terraform structure and versioned modules for reuse and testing
• Automate plan and policy checks in CI before applying changes
• Regularly run cost and security scans and act on prioritized findings
• Document architecture and runbooks under docs/infra/cloud/ for handoffs

Example use cases

• Create a repeatable VPC, subnet, and shared services module for multi-account AWS setups
• Convert legacy scripts to Terraform modules and validate with a staged CI pipeline
• Perform a monthly cost audit across clouds and produce a prioritized optimization plan
• Implement drift detection to reconcile manual console changes with IaC
• Deploy a common Kubernetes cluster pattern across GCP and Azure using a shared Terraform module
