Tflint

A Pluggable Terraform Linter. The key features are:

• Find possible errors (like invalid instance types) for Major Cloud providers (AWS/Azure/GCP).
• Warn about deprecated syntax, unused declarations.
• Enforce best practices, naming conventions.

Input Parameters

Parameter Name	Type	Default Value	Description
tflint-version	string	0.41.0	tflint version to use.
project-folder	string	current folder	The folder containing the terraform project.

Terraform-Azure

A template workflow to do terraform deployments in Azure. Some key features are:

• Downloading a specific version of Terraform CLI and adding it to the PATH.
• Configuring the Terraform CLI configuration file with a Terraform Cloud/Enterprise hostname and API token.
• Installing a wrapper script to wrap subsequent calls of the terraform binary and expose its STDOUT, STDERR, and exit code as outputs named stdout, stderr, and exitcode respectively. (This can be optionally skipped if subsequent steps in the same job do not need to access the results of Terraform commands.)
