This module library made the compliant, production-hardened&#10;way to provision AWS infrastructure also the fastest one.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;h2 id="challenge"&gt;Challenge&#10;&lt;/h2&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Seventy application repositories, each capable of provisioning its own&#10;infrastructure. Without a shared library, every team reinvents VPC&#10;wiring, database parameter tuning, and IAM boundaries — and every&#10;reinvention is a future incident and an audit finding.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>20+ AWS Services in One terraform apply — Built for the New Free Plan</title><link>https://cloudplz.cc/writing/terraform-aws-free-tier/</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000</pubDate><guid>https://cloudplz.cc/writing/terraform-aws-free-tier/</guid><description>&lt;p&gt;AWS&amp;rsquo;s new free plan comes with $200 in credits ($100 base + $100 bonus) — but only if you activate each activity individually. Most people don&amp;rsquo;t. I almost didn&amp;rsquo;t.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;The first time I spun up an ElastiCache cluster for a personal project, I picked &lt;code&gt;cache.t4g.micro&lt;/code&gt; — the Graviton node type, which seemed like the obvious modern choice. The legacy free tier only ever covered &lt;code&gt;cache.t3.micro&lt;/code&gt;, and under the new Free Plan neither node type gets a free allowance — both burn credits. By the time I caught it, I&amp;rsquo;d burned a few days of charges on a cache I wasn&amp;rsquo;t even actively using. That&amp;rsquo;s the kind of mistake this module is designed to prevent.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
