Overview
StackRef Terraform IaC Migration and Optimization Service
Do you have AWS resources not covered by infrastructure-as-code (IaC)? StackRef takes your existing or new resources and cleanly imports them into readable, organized Terraform/OpenTofu code (your choice). Our CISSP-certified team brings over 20 years of AWS experience to deliver secure, cost-efficient infrastructure code aligned with industry best practices.
Who This Service Is For
This service is designed for engineering teams managing AWS environments where resources were created manually, through the console, or with tools other than Terraform. Whether you are a growing startup scaling past click-ops, a mid-market team preparing for compliance audits, or an enterprise standardizing on IaC across accounts, StackRef delivers production-ready Terraform code tailored to your environment.
What We Deliver
- Terraform/OpenTofu modules - Clean, logically organized code covering EC2, VPC, RDS, Lambda, DynamoDB, Bedrock, Redshift, SES, SQS, and all other services supported by Terraform
- Security hardening recommendations - Configuration improvements aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework security pillar and CIS Benchmarks
- Cost optimization guidance - Actionable recommendations to reduce spend based on resource utilization and best practices
- State file handoff - Fully initialized Terraform state files ready for your team to manage going forward
- Module documentation - README files and variable descriptions so your team can maintain and extend the code independently
Use Case Example
A SaaS company with 150+ manually provisioned EC2 instances, multiple VPCs, and RDS databases needed audit-ready IaC before a compliance review. StackRef imported all resources into modular Terraform code, identified security misconfigurations, and delivered cost optimization recommendations - enabling the team to pass their audit and reduce ongoing infrastructure management overhead.
Engagement Process
- Discovery call - We review your AWS environment scope, discuss goals, and define engagement boundaries
- Assessment - We inventory target resources, identify dependencies, and propose a module architecture
- IaC delivery - We import resources, write clean Terraform code, and apply security and cost recommendations
- Review and handoff - We walk your team through the delivered code, state files, and documentation
Scope and Prerequisites
What you provide:
- Read-only AWS account access (or IAM role) for resource discovery
- A designated point of contact for questions during the engagement
- Any existing documentation on your current architecture
What is included:

Highlights
- StackRef delivers production-ready Terraform/OpenTofu code that is readable, logically organized, security-hardened, and cost-optimized. Every engagement includes state file handoff and module documentation so your team can maintain and extend the infrastructure independently. We apply recommendations aligned with the AWS Well-Architected Framework and CIS Benchmarks to ensure your code meets industry standards from day one.
- Our team brings over 20 years of hands-on AWS and multi-cloud experience, certified in AWS, Microsoft Azure, and CISSP. This depth means we understand not just how to write Terraform, but how to architect modules that scale across accounts, regions, and compliance requirements. We have worked with environments ranging from startups to complex enterprise deployments.
- Every engagement follows a structured four-phase process: discovery call to scope your environment, assessment to inventory resources and plan module architecture, IaC delivery with security and cost recommendations, and a review-and-handoff session where we walk your team through the delivered code, state files, and documentation. You provide read-only AWS access and a point of contact - we handle the rest.
