awspec VS terraform-switcher

Before we dive into own cloud provider compliance checking services, we want to highlight yet another open source tool, namely InSpec. It allows you to write tests in ruby, and was built on top of RSpec. If you know already awsspec, then this should feel very similar, with the advantage that InSpec also supports GCP and Azure.

‍TFSwitch is a CLI tool that allows easy switching between different Terraform versions, simplifying workflows in environments where multiple Terraform versions are used.

tfswitch might help with particular issue of terraform versioning:

Even then some versions of terraform providers are not compatible with M1 macs. Docker would help with that probably, but so can: https://github.com/kreuzwerker/m1-terraform-provider-helper

Perhaps these sort of issues support the benefits of per-module docker images?

My approach is to change the version in the version.tf file, install the new version using tfswitch (https://tfswitch.warrensbox.com/) and execute a plan. If infrastructure matches the configuration I will asume there are no breaking changes...

Also, an excellent tool can help with fast switching between different Terraform versions while you’re experimenting — tfswitch.

It was easy. I didn't use terraform-version files like you, but there are similar ways to automatically switch versions. https://github.com/warrensbox/terraform-switcher
