Terraform · Amazon EKS · CI/CD · GitOps

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.

The reference architecture

One reviewable, reproducible flow from a git commit to a running, monitored workload on EKS:

git push → CI (build · SAST · Trivy image scan · OPA/Conftest on Terraform plan) → push image to ECR
  ↓
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.
