What terraform-data-engineering-iac does

This skill guides agents through building AWS infrastructure for data engineering. It defines aws_s3_bucket resources with automated Glacier archiving, as well as EC2 compute instances on Ubuntu 22.04. The virtual machine templates include startup scripts that pull in Pandas and Apache Airflow automatically.

The layout uses standard Terraform files: main.tf, variables.tf, and outputs.tf. It covers commands for formatting, planning, and deployment. The skill also details multi-environment setups using workspaces and remote S3 state backends locked with DynamoDB.

Both Terraform CLI and a configured AWS CLI must be installed locally. The templates require elevated permissions. You should tighten them before touching production.

What it helps with

  • provision an S3 data lake bucket with versioning and Glacier archiving
  • spin up an EC2 instance preconfigured for Apache Airflow and Pandas
  • configure remote Terraform state storage in S3 with DynamoDB locking
  • split infrastructure environments using Terraform workspaces

Example prompts for the agent

  • Generate a Terraform configuration for an S3 data lake with 90-day Glacier lifecycle rules
  • Create an EC2 instance in Terraform with user data that installs Apache Airflow
  • Set up a remote S3 backend with DynamoDB locking for data pipeline state
