Terraform Tools and Testing

• tflint

  30 4,619 8.9 Go

  A Pluggable Terraform Linter

  

Find possible errors (like illegal instance types) for Major Cloud providers (AWS/Azure/GCP). Warn about deprecated syntax, unused declarations. Enforce best practices, naming conventions. https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint

• checkov

  55 6,540 9.9 Python

  Prevent cloud misconfigurations and find vulnerabilities during build-time in infrastructure as code, container images and open source packages with Checkov by Bridgecrew.

  

Generally I run TFLint and Checkov in a CI pipeline for any IaC repo involving Terraform. They both have pre-commit hooks which is nice for local development to.

• InfluxDB

  www.influxdata.com featured

  Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  

• terraform-docs

  32 4,015 7.5 Go

  Generate documentation from Terraform modules in various output formats

  

TFDocs is also worth a shout. Nice to have something automatically update README files in your modules with inputs/outputs on larger projects. I don't tend to use it for smaller deployments though.

• pre-commit

  192 12,087 8.0 Python

  A framework for managing and maintaining multi-language pre-commit hooks.
