Hello

Problem statement As an infrastructure engineer writing Terraform, I’d like to test code before I apply it. Some constraints: I’d like this to work with Terraform Cloud and workspaces. Workspaces represent app-region-env tuples more or less. They all apply the same code, and each are 99% the same, but some have slight differences. These differences are what I’d like to test....

So this has taken me 24+ hours to figure out. All docs, references to using OPA with Terraform are about testing the plan. I want some static analysis on raw .tf files.

That’s what I’m documenting here. So I’m working on getting a Laravel 5.6 application into AWS Fargate with Terraform. This application began life as a Laravel 5.0 app ~6 years ago, so some of the codebase was somewhat templated from then....
