Infrastructure as Code Services: Terraform, Ansible
If your infrastructure exists only in one person's head and in settings made manually through dashboards, you are one click away from a failure that is hard to recover from. We describe the entire infrastructure as code — servers, networks, firewall rules, DNS, databases — with Terraform or OpenTofu, so that any environment can be recreated identically, from code, in minutes.
The infrastructure code goes into Git, just like the application: every change is reviewed, versioned and applied through a pipeline, not improvised directly in production at 2 a.m. With Ansible we standardize server configuration, and development, staging and production environments become identical — the "it worked on my machine" errors disappear. We detect and correct drift, meaning the differences that appear between what the code says and what is actually in production.
The result: infrastructure that is reproducible and self-documented, with no dependence on a single person, with a clear history of every change and the ability to rebuild everything from scratch — for disaster recovery or for a new client — starting from the same files.
What we include
- Terraform / OpenTofu
- Ansible for configuration
- Identical environments: dev, staging, production
- Infrastructure versioned in Git (GitOps)
- Drift detection and correction
- Reusable modules and documentation
Who Infrastructure as Code is for
Infrastructure as Code fits companies whose infrastructure has grown faster than its documentation: businesses with several servers or cloud accounts configured by hand, development teams that need identical development, staging and production environments, SaaS companies spinning up environments for each customer, and organizations that must be able to rebuild everything quickly after an incident. The warning signs are familiar: nobody knows exactly how the production server is configured, changes are made directly in dashboards, environments behave differently, and one person holds all the knowledge. With Terraform and Ansible we turn that dependency into code your company owns.
How we work
We start with an audit of the current infrastructure: what is running, where and how it is configured. We gradually bring it under code — without stopping what works — starting with the critical components, and set up the pipeline through which changes are applied in a controlled way. We hand over the code, documentation and modules, and if you want we stay to operate and evolve the infrastructure, with a written SLA.
Throughout the project you work with us directly in Git: you see every module, every proposed change and the Terraform plan before it is applied. We run short handover sessions with your team so your engineers understand the code and can propose changes themselves. You receive documentation of the structure, the modules and the change workflow. We communicate in English, Romanian or Russian, and for EU and US clients we work fully remote, as a nearshore extension of your team.
How Infrastructure as Code pricing is formed
The price depends on the size and variety of your infrastructure: how many servers, networks, accounts and cloud providers need to be brought under code, how many identical environments you need, whether we start from scratch or import existing resources, how much server configuration we cover with Ansible, and whether you want ongoing operations under an SLA. The audit of your current infrastructure is free, and within 48 hours you receive a fixed offer with clearly defined project stages.

Frequently asked questions
What is Infrastructure as Code and why does a company need it?
Infrastructure as Code means servers, networks, firewall rules, DNS and databases are described in code files instead of being configured by hand. The company gets environments that can be recreated in minutes, a clear history of every change in Git, and independence from the person who originally set up the infrastructure.
Do you use Terraform or OpenTofu?
We work with both Terraform and OpenTofu, the open-source alternative compatible with Terraform. We choose together with you based on your existing infrastructure and your team's preferences. For server configuration we use Ansible, and the code lives in your own Git repository.
Can you bring infrastructure that is already in production under code?
Yes, we bring existing infrastructure under code without stopping what works. We gradually import current resources, starting with the critical components, verify that the code matches reality, and only then apply changes through a pipeline. Production keeps running normally throughout the project.
What is infrastructure drift and how do you control it?
Drift is the gap between what the code describes and what actually runs in production, usually caused by manual changes. We detect it through regular Terraform plan checks and correct it either by bringing production back to the state in code or by updating the code, so the two stay in sync.
Who owns the infrastructure code at the end?
You own the infrastructure code entirely. We keep it in your Git repository and hand over the modules and documentation. You can continue with your own team, with us, or with another provider. If you want, we stay on to operate and evolve the infrastructure under a written SLA.
Does Infrastructure as Code help with disaster recovery?
Yes, Infrastructure as Code is one of the strongest foundations for disaster recovery. Because the entire infrastructure is described in code, it can be recreated identically in another region or with another provider from the same files. Combined with verified data backups, it significantly shortens recovery time after an incident.
