Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
Pike is a tool that analyzes Terraform managed resources and automatically generates the necessary IAM permissions, improving security by ensuring that only the minimum necessary permissions are granted.

Open Source Terraform projects - azure focused (open to other providers as well)
I test out the Api the hard way, I make a resource and test it with a role that doesnt have the permissions (see the folder i linked), the Api (with azure anyway) tells you what you lack, azure tends to be simpler with crud permissions than aws. I then have another privilege tole that can update the first with each permission and iterate: https://github.com/JamesWoolfenden/pike/tree/master/terraform/azurerm, i then create the mapping file for that resource and add it. I can show you if you need help - send me an email/message/zoom. If you figure a better way i'm all ears, but this way I can be sure on what permissions are required.

Can I generate permissions needed to run a TF script on AWS, GCP or Azure?
You can run my tool pike on your tf to generate iam for aws and gcp. Get it here https://github.com/jamesWoolfenden/pike
- Can I auto-generate AWS IAM policy document based on directory of existing Terraform code so that CI has limited access to what it can deploy?

Pike: Tool to determine your IAM requirements from code
I wrote a small tool called Pike. It looks at your TF code and determines and create the IAM policy/Tf resource required to build it. To help you stick to least privilege in your build process. It currently supports a small but growing sub-set of AWS resources, it will support other providers. Use it or ?, but would welcome feedback https://github.com/JamesWoolfenden/pike . Its open source and always will be.

Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
Checkov is another great tool that examines your Terraform files (.tf), parsing the configurations and evaluating them against a comprehensive set of predefined policies. It scans Terraform-managed infrastructure and detects misconfigurations that could lead to security issues or non-compliance with best practices and regulations.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
Kustomize: It provides a solution to customize the Kubernetes resource base configuration and differential configuration without template and DSL. It does not solve the constraint problem itself, but needs to cooperate with a large number of additional tools to check constraints, such as Kube-linter, Checkov and kubescape.

Top 10 terraform tools you should know about.
Checkov is a versatile static code analysis tool designed for infrastructure as code (IaC) and software composition analysis (SCA). It supports a wide range of technologies, including Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Docker, and others, to detect security and compliance issues through graph-based scanning. Checkov also performs SCA scans, identifying vulnerabilities in open source packages and images by checking for Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs). Additionally, it is integrated into Prisma Cloud Application Security, a platform that helps developers secure cloud resources and infrastructure-as-code files, enabling the identification, rectification, and prevention of misconfigurations throughout the development lifecycle.
-
Understanding Container Security
For your Dockerfiles, you can also scan them. There are lots of tools that can check your Dockerfiles. They will validate if Dockerfile is compliant with Docker best practices such as not using root user, making sure a health check exists, and not exposing the SSH port. You can use Snyk and Checkov.

Terraform Security Best Practices
We use https://www.checkov.io/ for this, it's very simple to get started with and works really well as PR quality gate

How long have you guys actually had the title “platform engineer”? What other titles did you have before that, if any?
Once there is a CI pipeline for delivering infra changes you can add static code analysis tools (checkov) and even start testing changes (terratest)

What are the best static analysis security testing tools for Terraform and infrastructure as code?
I just had a brief chat with one of the developers of Checkov and it sounds nice (and open source). I haven't had a chance to play with it, but if you want to it's at https://www.checkov.io/
