Terraform + EKS + CI/CD, built as one production system.
The exact bundle teams actually need — infrastructure-as-code, Kubernetes and a deploy pipeline that work together, not three disconnected specialists. Policy-as-code security gates, GitOps reconciliation, secure-by-default. Built by a CISA + AWS Solutions Architect Professional.

One reviewable, reproducible flow from a git commit to a running, monitored workload on EKS:
↓
Terraform provisions VPC · private-subnet EKS · IRSA · KMS · Secrets Manager (remote state, peer-reviewed plans)
↓
ArgoCD GitOps → deploy to EKS · drift detection & reconciliation every 3 min · blue/green & canary · auto-rollback on 5xx

Prometheus / Grafana / CloudWatch — SLOs, alerting, error budgets
What you get
Terraform (IaC)
- Modular repos — networking, compute, data, security, observability
- Remote state, environment promotion, peer-reviewed plans
- OPA/Conftest blocking public S3, open SGs, unencrypted RDS at plan time
Amazon EKS
- Private-subnet cluster, IRSA, VPC endpoints — no long-lived keys
- Helm charts, HPA / Cluster Autoscaler, distroless images
- East-west controls via security groups + network policy
CI/CD + GitOps
- GitHub Actions / GitLab CI / Jenkins for build & test
- ArgoCD (or Flux) for declarative delivery to EKS
- Blue/green & canary, automated rollback, secret rotation
Secure & audit-ready
- Controls map to SOC 2 CC7, ISO 27001 Annex A, PCI DSS Req 3/4
- CloudTrail + Config conformance packs for evidence
- Runbook + handoff docs, or ongoing retainer
Why buy it as a bundle
Terraform, EKS and CI/CD are one system: Terraform provisions the cluster, the pipeline ships to it, and GitOps keeps both in sync. Split them across separate contractors and you inherit the integration gaps — drift, broken promotions, secrets sprawl, "works in staging" surprises. One owner who has run all three in production under audit removes that risk. I've built this exact stack for AI-lending EKS platforms, fintech CDEs and multi-account DevSecOps practices.
FAQ
Why are Terraform, EKS and CI/CD bought together?
They're one system — Terraform provisions EKS and AWS resources, the pipeline deploys to EKS, GitOps keeps them in sync. A bundle avoids the integration gaps of stitching separate specialists together.
Which CI/CD tools do you use?
GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, AWS CodePipeline for build/test; ArgoCD or Flux for GitOps delivery. Chosen to fit your team.
How is security handled?
Policy-as-code — OPA/Conftest blocks unsafe Terraform at plan time, Trivy scans images, IRSA removes long-lived keys, all mapped to SOC 2, ISO 27001 and PCI DSS.
How long does a build take?
A production-ready baseline typically lands in 3–6 weeks, then hands off to your team or an ongoing retainer.
Ship a pipeline you can defend in an audit.
