Evolution of Infrastructure Management
summary
Terraform Cloud adds concrete features to provision, manage, and track infrastructure at scale: a cloud block that pushes local workspaces to Terraform Cloud, CDKTF to generate HCL from TypeScript/Python/Go, variable sets and a private registry for standardized reuse, codified refactors with a move block that relocates live resources into modules without destroying them, pre- and post-conditions in Terraform 1.2 that abort plans on failed checks, run tasks integrating Bridgecrew Snyk Styra and Infracost (sample plan shows ~$10.73 monthly), and scheduled drift detection that flags mismatched Azure disk sizes.
