Terraform

Infrastructure as code with Terraform for multi-cloud provisioning and management.

What is Terraform?

Terraform is one of 70 specialized agent skills built into the Multos AI platform. When you describe a task related to devops, this skill activates automatically — bringing domain-specific knowledge about terraform iac, infrastructure as code, cloud provisioning directly into your development workflow.

Generates HCL with proper module structure, variables, outputs, and state management (S3/DynamoDB locking). Creates reusable modules for VPC, ECS, RDS, Lambda. Generates workspace configs for multi-environment and least-privilege IAM policies.

Key Capabilities

  • Generates complete, working implementations for terraform iac with proper error handling and edge cases
  • Understands best practices and security patterns specific to devops development
  • Provides step-by-step guidance from setup through production deployment
  • Adapts to your existing codebase — works with any framework, language, or architecture
  • Generates tests alongside implementation code to ensure reliability
  • Specialized knowledge of infrastructure as code patterns, common pitfalls, and optimization techniques

How to Use Terraform on Multos AI

Example Prompts

  • "Create a Terraform module for ECS Fargate with ALB"
  • "Set up workspaces for dev/staging/prod with shared modules"
  • "Build serverless infra with Lambda, API Gateway, and DynamoDB"

Example Output

module "api_service" {
  source = "./modules/ecs-service"
  name            = "api"
  image           = "${aws_ecr_repository.api.repository_url}:${var.image_tag}"
  cpu             = 512
  memory          = 1024
  desired_count   = var.environment == "prod" ? 3 : 1
  vpc_id          = module.vpc.vpc_id
  subnet_ids      = module.vpc.private_subnet_ids
  environment_variables = {
    DATABASE_URL = aws_ssm_parameter.db_url.arn
  }
}

Real-World Use Case

A company managing infra manually across 3 AWS accounts codified everything: module library, workspace configs, and a CI/CD pipeline running plan on PR and apply on merge — eliminating drift and reducing changes from 2 hours to a 5-minute PR.
