TLDR: This tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to setting up a complete Terraform development environment, including version management (tenv), documentation generation (terraform-docs), linting (TFLint), security scanning (Trivy, Checkov), pre-commit hooks, and others. We use a cookbook-style approach for easy understanding, but if you just want the command script to set up the environment, you can get it here.
A quick and easy recipe to set up a killer development environment for writing Terraform modules. Tested on Linux Ubuntu 24.04.1 LTS for x86_64 architecture (should work on other debian-based systems. For other Linux distributions, some tweaks are required).
Building robust and secure infrastructure with Terraform requires more than just the terraform CLI. A well-equipped development environment is crucial for maximizing productivity, ensuring code qu
