Manage AWS Staging Jobs with Terraform

Jira Ticket: PKG-1076 - Manage AWS Staging jobs with Terraform

Problem

Current AWS staging job management lacks centralized automation and standardized workflows, creating opportunities to streamline resource handling processes and optimize costs.

Solution

Implement Terraform-based automation to simplify and streamline AWS staging job management through centralized resource management, standardized workflows, and cost optimization via infrastructure reuse.

Key Benefits

Cost Optimization:

• Reduce AWS costs through infrastructure resource reuse
• Share VPCs across multiple staging environments
• Reuse subnets, load balancers, and elastic IPs
• Optimize network gateway usage across staging jobs
• Eliminate redundant infrastructure provisioning

Operational Improvements:

• Simplified AWS staging job management
• Streamlined resource handling processes
• Reduced operational complexity
• Improved automation and standardization
• Better visibility and control over AWS staging jobs

Changes

Initial Implementation:

• Added planning documentation for AWS Terraform integration
• Created roadmap for centralized staging workflow automation
• Established foundation for standardized resource lifecycle management
• Outlined cost optimization strategy through infrastructure sharing

Infrastructure Reuse Strategy

• Centralized VPC management for staging environments
• Shared subnet allocation across multiple jobs
• Load balancer pooling and reuse
• Elastic IP conservation and management
• Network gateway optimization
• Resource tagging and lifecycle management for cost tracking

Next Steps

• Assess current AWS staging job configurations
• Design Terraform modules for shared infrastructure components
• Implement centralized staging workflow automation
• Create resource reuse patterns for cost optimization
• Integrate with existing Jenkins pipelines
