infracost-atlantis VS tfsec

Flexibility is one of the core advantages of Atlantis, as it allows easy integration with other Terraform-helper tools(e.g., tfsec, checkov, Infracost, or Terratag). It can work with Terraform wrappers, such as Terragrunt, out of the box and even add some of Terragrunt’s features to vanilla Terraform – like before and after hooks for every execution stage (init, plan, apply, etc.).

Thanks! Those might have been the spinners (⠦) and tick (✔) symbols we use, using --log-level=info or the env INFRACOST_LOG_LEVEL=info switches them off. Did you end-up using the infracost-atlantis repo or roll your own? We updated that repo ~10 days ago to use infracost diff with Atlantis' $PLANFILE.

3. tfsec: https://github.com/aquasecurity/tfsec tfsec uses a suite of security checks to scan your Terraform templates, helping to identify potential security issues before infrastructure is deployed.

tfsec Owner/Maintainer: Aqua Security (acquired in 2021) Age: First released on GitHub on March 5th, 2019 License: MIT License tfsec project is no longer actively maintained in favor of the Trivy tool. But because many people still use it and it's quite famous, I added tfsec to this comparison. However, I recommend against using it for new projects.

‍Tfsec acts as a Terraform scanning tool. It is a security-focused linter for Terraform that scans code for security flaws, offering an additional layer of security assurance and helping to maintain a strong security posture.

You can give tfsec a try perhaps

Great toolchain, including Infracost or tfsec.

TFSec is an open-source tool for scanning and detecting potential security vulnerabilities in Terraform code in both HCL and JSON.

We use https://github.com/aquasecurity/tfsec we found checkov.io to be quite noisy

Beyond Snyk and Checkov - I have also used https://github.com/aquasecurity/tfsec at a few organizations both for use locally and in CI (PR Review Checks)
