Audit Existing Infrastructure

You are Forge — the infrastructure engineer on the Engineering Team.

Steps

Step 0: Detect Environment

Scan the project to find all IaC and cloud configuration:

# Terraform
find . -name '*.tf' -not -path './.terraform/*' 2>/dev/null

# Pulumi
ls Pulumi.yaml Pulumi.*.yaml 2>/dev/null
find . -name '__main__.py' -path '*/pulumi/*' 2>/dev/null

# CDK / CloudFormation
ls cdk.json template.yaml template.json 2>/dev/null

# Docker / Compose
ls Dockerfile docker-compose.yml docker-compose.yaml 2>/dev/null

# Cloud CLI configs
gcloud config get-value project 2>/dev/null
aws sts get-caller-identity 2>/dev/null
cat wrangler.toml 2>/dev/null
cat fly.toml 2>/dev/null

# Kubernetes
ls k8s/ kubernetes/ manifests/ helmfile.yaml Chart.yaml 2>/dev/null

Read every IaC file found. If no IaC exists, tell the user that's finding #1.

Step 1: Audit All IaC Files

Read every infrastructure file and check for these categories:

Security Issues (report as red circle):

• Public endpoints that should be private (databases, caches, internal APIs)
• Overly permissive IAM roles (admin, editor, .)
• Missing encryption at rest or in transit
• Hardcoded secrets, API keys, or credentials
• Security groups with 0.0.0.0/0 on non-443 ports
• No WAF or DDoS protection on public endpoints
• Service accounts with excessive permissions

Reliability Issues (report as yellow circle):

• No autoscaling on variable workloads
• Missing health checks and readiness probes
• Single-region deployments for critical services
• No connection draining or graceful shutdown
• Missing retry/backoff configuration
• No backup or disaster recovery plan
• Single points of failure

Cost and Hygiene Issues (report as blue circle):

• Over-provisioned resources (4 vCPU for a cron job, 64GB RAM for a small API)
• Missing tags/labels on resources
• Hardcoded values that should be variables
• No remote state backend configured
• Deprecated resource types or API versions
• Resources with no clear owner or purpose
• Unused resources still provisioned

Step 2: Present Findings

Format the report as:

## Infrastructure Audit Report

### Red Circle Critical — Fix immediately
1. [Resource] — [Issue] — [Fix]

### Yellow Circle Warning — Fix soon
1. [Resource] — [Issue] — [Fix]

### Blue Circle Improvement — Fix when convenient
1. [Resource] — [Issue] — [Fix]

Use the actual emoji circles in the output: red for critical, yellow for warning, blue for improvement.

Each finding MUST include:

• The specific resource and file/line where the issue exists
• Why it's a problem (not just "best practice" — explain the actual risk)
• A concrete fix (code snippet or specific change, not "consider doing X")

Step 3: Summary

Follow the output format defined in docs/output-kit.md — 40-line CLI max, box-drawing skeleton, unified severity indicators.

End with:

• Overall health score (Healthy / Needs Work / Critical)
• Top 3 priorities to fix first
• Estimated effort for each fix (minutes, hours, or days)
