AWS DevOps Setup & Automation

I’m moving several workloads to AWS and want the entire life-cycle—provisioning, deployment, and hardening—driven by code. You will take the lead in shaping the approach, documenting each decision, and leaving me with a repeatable, version-controlled foundation.

Scope
• Evaluate my current repositories and AWS account to map out the target architecture.
• Recommend and implement Infrastructure as Code, whether that’s Terraform, CloudFormation, or CDK, so every environment can be recreated from a single commit.
• Build an end-to-end CI/CD pipeline (CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, or similar) that pushes to production automatically after tests pass and provides an easy rollback path.
• Apply security best practices—least-privilege IAM roles, encrypted storage, and centralized logging—so compliance audits pass without extra work.

Deliverables
1. IaC templates committed to my Git repo.
2. A functioning pipeline that deploys a sample service to EC2, S3, or RDS (we’ll confirm which one together).
3. A concise runbook explaining how to extend or troubleshoot the setup.

Acceptance Criteria
• One-click (or one-command) deployment spins up the agreed resources in a clean AWS account.
• A code change merged to the main branch triggers the pipeline and updates the live stack with no manual steps.
• Security checks (linting, policy validation) run automatically and fail the build on violations.

If this aligns with your expertise, let me know how you’d structure the work and an estimated timeline.
