pike VS terratag

‍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.

‍Terratag is a tool designed to assign tags or labels to a complete collection of Terraform or Terragrunt files. It enables applying tags or labels to resources within AWS, GCP, and Azure.
