Infrastructure usually doesn't fail because of Terraform itself.
Most issues come from configuration choices that look harmless during development but become expensive later.
Here are five common findings I keep seeing in AWS Terraform projects.
1. Public Security Groups
Opening sensitive ports to the internet increases the attack surface and can expose production resources.
2. Public S3 Buckets
Accidentally exposing storage is still one of the most common cloud security issues.
3. HTTP Without HTTPS
Encrypting traffic should be the default. Leaving applications accessible only through HTTP exposes data in transit.
4. Storage Without Encryption
Databases and storage services should always protect data at rest.
5. No Bucket Versioning
Versioning helps recover from accidental deletions, overwrites and even ransomware scenarios.
None of these problems are particularly difficult to fix.
The challenge is identifying them before they reach production.
That's why infrastructure reviews before deployment can save a significant amount of time, money and operational risk.
