Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
TFSwitch is a CLI tool that allows easy switching between different Terraform versions, simplifying workflows in environments where multiple Terraform versions are used.

Asdf – the language tool version manager
tfswitch might help with particular issue of terraform versioning:
https://tfswitch.warrensbox.com/
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?

Best strategy to upgrade Terraform code?
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...

VSCode plugin very slow at terraform fmt on save
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

Ruby: "the best" language for general automation
The course uses Chef Inspec, an open source Ruby DSL. I made a POC with this tool to automatically check repositories on GitHub, checks like if it contains a gitignore consistent with the language used, if node_modules is not present, etc.
- what tool do you use for validating hardening settings have been applied. this is for security and hardening purposes. for example, ensure that admin username is not default username, password is at least 12 characters with upper, lower and special characters, https is enabled etc

Why do you guys think testing is not a very prominent topic in the cloud native community ?
We are using Inspec to double check that the changes are indeed what we expect them to be. If anyone knows a better tool, please share

Is there any kind of Pester Server for infrastructure tests?
https://github.com/inspec/inspec Chef Inspec is probably a great tool for what you’re trying to do. Great at building human readable test cases for validation of infrastructure deployments. At a different org I used to use PoSh, Terraform and Ansible etc. for deploying on-prem and cloud infrastructure and then Inspec for testing for successful deployments, security misconfigurations (is a port open that shouldn’t be etc).

Automated Configuration Analysis?
If you need the monitoring for compliance reason, Chef InSpec was designed for this exact usecase.
