Frequently Asked Questions
What are common Terraform security misconfigurations?
Typical issues include public storage buckets, overly permissive IAM policies, open security groups, unencrypted resources and hard-coded secrets. They often come from copied examples or default settings.
How can I scan Terraform for security problems?
Run static analysis tools such as Checkov, tfsec or Trivy against your code and plans, ideally in CI. They flag risky settings before infrastructure is created, helping you fix issues early.
Why fix misconfigurations in code rather than in the cloud?
Fixing the Terraform source keeps changes repeatable and reviewable and prevents drift from recreating the issue. This Codelivly room is free and gives hands-on practice finding and remediating them.
