aztfy VS pre-commit-terraform

Aztfy is a tool developed by Microsoft that allows you to bulk import resources, it has some configuration so you can specify what to import, the names to import and so on. After spending some time with the tool, I quickly realized it may be a no-go. The problem I had with this tool is twofold:

Azure Terrafy is a tool that makes it easy to import your existing Azure resources into Terraform modules. Suppose you're an Azure user looking to manage your infrastructure with the power of Terraform. In that case, Azure Terrafy can save you time and effort by automating the process of incorporating your existing resources into your Terraform configuration. This is especially useful for those who have a "brownfield" environment, where their infrastructure already has a number of existing resources that need to be brought under the management of Terraform. It can save you a lot of time and effort. Without Terrafy, you would need to manually create a Terraform configuration file for each resource you want to manage. This can be tedious and error-prone, especially if you have many resources.

If that existing infrastructure happens to be in Azure, look into aztfy, it's helped me build some structures to replace first-generation hand-deployed resources.

Personally I use pre-commit with some of these hooks in addition to some default hooks. It's basically a localised CI pipeline, and also means every commit has passed checks so keeps your commit history neat. Way faster to develop infrastructure code and fix issues than having to keep pushing to the remote repo and waiting for an Action to run.

pre-commit-terraform – Pre-commit git hooks for automation

Let me share a shameless plug (as an author of the pre-commit-terraform). I will show these hooks in action and answer questions during my live stream on Friday 29th of October - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ziJK79tI6tY

We the following of this set of hooks for our Terraform modules:

Take a look on pre-commit scripts for terraform: https://github.com/antonbabenko/pre-commit-terraform. Of course, you can run it before git operations, for example:
