Production Terraform patterns for Azure DevOps pipelines, remote state management, and enterprise infrastructure as code.
The Terraform trap: Teams write perfect Terraform modules, then wonder why nobody uses them. The code was easy. Building CI/CD pipelines, remote state management, and branching strategies that teams actually follow is the hard part.
After implementing Terraform at enterprise scale with Azure DevOps, I've learned that production Terraform requires three layers:
This hub contains the Terraform CI/CD patterns, remote state strategies, and enterprise best practices I've built to make infrastructure as code actually work in regulated Azure environments.

The complete 6-part guide to deploying Azure infrastructure with Terraform through Azure DevOps - with pull request approvals, Key Vault secrets, and zero manual portal changes. This is how enterprises actually run Infrastructure as Code.
2025-11-03
Enterprise-grade Infrastructure as Code with pull request approvals, Key Vault secrets, and zero manual portal changes. This is the exact setup I use in production - GUI pipelines, not YAML.
2025-11-04
Build the two pipelines that validate Terraform code on pull requests and create deployment artifacts on merge. GUI-based, no YAML, full control.
2025-11-05
Build the release pipeline that deploys approved Terraform plans with pre-deployment approval gates and audit trails. This is where governance happens.
2025-11-06
Enforce GitOps workflow with branch policies that require reviews, trigger automated validation, and prevent direct commits to main. No cowboy deployments allowed.
2025-11-07
Scale from single environment to Dev/Test/Prod with separate state files, environment-specific approvals, and production hardening. This is how enterprises actually run Terraform.

Real-world troubleshooting guide for Terraform CI/CD pipelines. These are the issues I've actually encountered in production - and how to fix them fast.
Remote state backends, locking, and disaster recovery patterns.

After our third 'who deleted the state file' incident, I finally set up proper Terraform remote state. 30 minutes of work eliminated an entire category of disasters. Here's exactly how to do it, with zero fluff.
Modules, versioning, publishing, and enterprise-scale implementations.
2025-12-21
Stop copy-pasting Terraform code across repos. Build reusable modules, version them properly, and publish to Azure DevOps Artifacts or Terraform Registry.
