Hire Terraform Experts | Nearshore Software Development

The Terraform evaluation is deeply focused on architectural best practices and operational safety. Candidates are first tested on the core workflow, including the nuances of the dependency graph and the correct use of `count`, `for_each`, and `dynamic` blocks for resource iteration. The most critical assessment is their ability to design and implement a complex, reusable Terraform Module, demonstrating a clear separation of concerns using inputs, outputs, and locals. We rigorously test their understanding of the Terraform State lifecycle, requiring them to diagnose and fix a scenario involving state corruption, proving their mastery of remote backends, locking, and using the `terraform import` and `terraform state` commands safely. Finally, we assess their expertise in integrating Terraform into a GitOps workflow, including configuring CI/CD steps that use `terraform plan -detailed-exitcode` and performing automated security validation with tools like Terrascan before a manual or automated `apply` step.
