IaC Change Review Checklist
Review infrastructure pull requests like a careful engineer.
Added October 15, 2026. Written with AI assistance and checked for clarity and placeholders; not reviewed by a lawyer, accountant, clinician or other professional. How these prompts are made
The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.
Create a pull request review checklist for infrastructure changes. Provider and tool: [PROVIDER_AND_TOOL]. Types of resources we manage: [RESOURCE_TYPES]. Production risk areas: [RISK_AREAS]. Produce a checklist with sections: intent and scope, plan output review (create, change, destroy, replace), security (public exposure, permissions, encryption), cost, availability, naming and tags, rollback, and documentation. Under each item add the question a reviewer asks and a red flag. Include special attention items for resources whose replacement destroys data. Write a pull request template of 10 lines asking the author for the plan summary, risk level, and rollback steps. Add guidance for when a change must wait for a maintenance window. Add a risk scoring rule that classifies a change as low, medium, or high based on the checklist answers, and a table of who must approve each level. Include five example plan outputs written in words (for example, one resource replaced in a database module) and the verdict you would give for each with a reason, so reviewers can calibrate their judgement.
