pike VS terraform-switcher

‍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.

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.

You can run my tool pike on your tf to generate iam for aws and gcp. Get it here https://github.com/jamesWoolfenden/pike

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.

‍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
