Build once, deploy many
Why: Artifacts enable repeatable deployments
• Publish consumer modules to repos
• Download in deployment pipelines
• Same version across all envs
• Atomic promotion with confidence
This is how you go from "works on my machine" to "works everywhere."

Tfvars files, not per-env repos
Why: Configuration should travel with code
• dev.tfvars, staging.tfvars, prod.tfvars
• Edit together, review together
• Same module version everywhere
• Only values change between envs
One commit, multiple environments. That's the goal.

Child modules first, then consumers
Why: Dependencies flow from small to large
• Test locally before publishing
• Flat archive structure required
• Breadcrumb outputs verify loading
• Version constraints prevent drift
Your module chain is only as strong as its weakest link.

Layer your Terraform like a cake, not a closet
Separation by lifecycle keeps deployments sane
* Foundation: accounts, org policies
* Network: VPC, routing
* Shared services: S3, KMS
* Apps and CI/CD last
Scaling infra gets easier when layers stay crisp

Use Organizational Units and SCPs to enforce rules
Guardrails beat guard dogs in cloud governance
* Organize by env, team, or function
* Apply Service Control Policies (SCPs)
* Deny risky actions like deleting CloudTrail
OU structure helps policy inheritance scale

Create AWS accounts with CLI or CloudFormation
Don’t create them manually—standardize early
* `aws organizations create-account`
* Monitor with `describe-create-account-status`
* Or define with `AWS::Organizations::Account`
Set the stage for repeatable, auditable growth

Add a temporary bootstrap-admin
Why? You’ll need automation creds
How:
• Create IAM user with CLI access
• Grant AdministratorAccess
• Tag it for deletion after SSO
• Record keys, delete after use
One bridge user. Then automation takes over.

Create your AWS Organization next
Why? You’ll manage multiple accounts under one roof
How:
• Sign in as root

• Click "Create Organization"

Root becomes “management”—but stays resource-free

Root account = security cornerstone
Why? It’s the only account that can’t be replaced
How:
• Use a unique email
• Enable MFA immediately
• Store credentials in a password manager

Artifacts make cloud delivery boring—in the best way.
Clear boundaries. Fewer surprises. Fast, safe deploys.
That’s how platform teams win.

Your cloud layout is a reusable module
One app is the demo. The second app is the test.
* Platform-first structure
* Automation is portable
* Delivery is repeatable
* Ownership is clear
* Practices scale cleanly
Make structure once. Reuse it forever.

Configuration must follow code
Otherwise, it drifts—and breaks in prod.
* Group config by env
* Build it into artifacts
* Review config changes
* Promote alongside app
* Use drop-in patterns
Change a config key? All envs follow—safely.
