Guacamole 🥑

A CLI tool that runs opinionated quality checks on your IaC codebase.

Check the IaC guild guidelines for more information on the quality checks.

Install

With Homebrew

ℹ️ If you use Linux, you can install Linuxbrew

brew tap padok-team/tap
brew install guacamole

From GitHub

Prerequisites :

• Golang
• Terraform
• Terragrunt

One-liner installer (in /tmp) :

DIR=$(pwd) cd /tmp && git clone git@github.com:padok-team/guacamole.git && cd guacamole && go build && alias guacamole=/tmp/guacamole/guacamole && cd $DIR

For a more permanent installation, just move the /tmp/guacamole/guacamole binary into a directory present in your $PATH.

Usage

Three modes currently exist :

• Static mode : runs quality checks on the codebase without running Terraform / Terragrunt commands

  guacamole static -p /path/to/your/codebase

  • By default, it will launch module and layer checks
  • To launch layer check use guacamole static layer
  • To launch module check use guacamole static module

• [EXPERIMENTAL] State mode : runs quality checks based on your layers' state

  We recommend using this command after checking that your codebase has been initialized properly.

  guacamole state -p /path/to/your/codebase

• [EXPERIMENTAL] Profile mode : creates a detailed report of the contents of your codebase

  We recommend using this command after checking that your codebase has been initialized properly.

  guacamole profile -p /path/to/your/codebase

A verbose mode (-v) exists to add more information to the output.

• TF_MOD_001 - Remote module call should be pinned to a specific version
• TF_MOD_002 - Provider should be defined by the consumer of the module
• TF_MOD_003 - Required provider versions in modules should be set with ~> operator

• TF_NAM_002 - snake_case should be used for all resource names
• TF_NAM_003 - Stuttering in the naming of resources
• TF_NAM_004 - Variable name's number should match its type
• TF_NAM_005 - Resources and data sources should not be named "this" or "these" if there are more than 1 of the same type
• TF_VAR_001 - Variable should contain a description
• TF_VAR_002 - Variable should declare a specific type
