Context
A large enterprise running workloads across AWS and Azure, with several engineering teams provisioning cloud infrastructure for their own products.
Challenge
Standardise cloud provisioning and improve the consistency of engineering delivery — so every team could build on the same governed foundations.
Approach
We treated the platform as a product: shared patterns, delivered as code, adopted team by team.
- 01PatternsReference designs for common workloads
- 02ModulesReusable Terraform modules
- 03PipelinesGitHub Actions validation and deployment
- 04GuardrailsPolicy checks built into delivery
- 05StandardsDocumented platform conventions
- Built reusable Terraform patterns and modules for common infrastructure.
- Automated validation and deployment with GitHub Actions.
- Integrated policy and guardrail checks into the delivery path.
- Documented platform standards across cloud environments.
Delivery
Modules and workflows were introduced incrementally, starting with the most frequently provisioned resources, so teams could adopt them without pausing product work.
Outcome
Reduced manual variation, improved repeatability and a stronger foundation for governed cloud delivery.
Less variation
Common infrastructure built the same way across teams.
Repeatable delivery
Changes validated and deployed through pipelines.
Governance by default
Guardrails applied as part of provisioning.
