Just implemented a streamlined CI/CD pipeline for a client’s AWS infrastructure using GitHub Actions and Terraform. This workflow automates the entire IaC lifecycle while incorporating security scanning.

The pipeline:

1. Triggers on pushes to main branch
2. Sets up Terraform v1.5.0 environment
3. Securely injects AWS credentials using GitHub secrets
4. Runs terraform init → plan → apply with auto-approval
5. Integrates SonarCloud for automated code quality scanning

This approach has dramatically reduced deployment errors while ensuring security scanning is performed on every infrastructure change. No more manual terraform applies or forgotten security reviews!
