Terraform and GitHub Automation with Claude

What you will be able to do

• Write, plan and apply Terraform configurations step by step with providers, variables, modules, remote state and locking
• Recognise and fix the common Terraform mistakes: unpinned providers, secrets in code, state in Git, count versus for_each, targeted applies and drift
• Run a GitHub repository for infrastructure code with branches, pull requests, CODEOWNERS, branch protection and GitHub Actions plan-on-PR and apply-on-merge
• Set up Claude Code, the Claude Agent SDK and an MCP server so Claude can draft, plan and review Terraform without ever running apply itself
• Build a plan-review agent that reads terraform show -json output and posts a structured risk verdict to the pull request
• Enforce guardrails, environment approvals and an audit trail for every plan and apply across F5, NetScaler, Cisco ACI and other load balancers (Anaya LB)
