Use Infrastructure as Code (IaC)—typically Terraform or OpenTofu—to manage many cloud environments and reduce configuration drift.
Best practices:
- Keep all infrastructure definitions in code
- Use version control for changes
- Plan/apply through CI/CD
- Separate environments cleanly, usually with:
- different state files
- different variables/configuration
- workspaces only if they fit your workflow
- Enforce policy and drift detection with tools like:
- Terraform Cloud/Enterprise
- Spacelift
- Atlantis
- GitHub Actions + scheduled drift checks
- Avoid manual console changes as much as possible
If you want, I can recommend a setup for:
- small team
- multi-account AWS
- multi-cloud
- enterprise with approvals and policy controls
