Terraform-Guardrail, a lightweight yet powerful compliance and guardrail tool built for cloud engineers, platform teams, DevOps/DevSecOps practitioners, and anyone working with Terraform at scale.

🌟 What is Terraform-Guardrail? Terraform-Guardrail MCP (Multi-Cloud Compliance Platform) is a Python-based toolset — including a CLI, server interface, and a minimal web UI — that helps:

✅ Scan Terraform configs and state files for sensitive values and compliance issues

✅ Enforce ephemeral values hygiene and secret leakage prevention

✅ Generate valid Terraform snippets with provider awareness

It’s designed to reduce configuration drift, prevent secret leaks, and keep infrastructure code safe and compliant across cloud platforms.

🛠 Who is it for?

🔹 Developers & DevOps engineers — get fast feedback on Terraform files before merging or deploying

🔹 Platform teams — embed compliance into self-service tooling and reduce manual reviews

🔹 Security/Compliance teams — enforce best practices early in the lifecycle

🔹 Cloud teams working across AWS, Azure, GCP etc. — benefit from multi-cloud provider metadata checks built into the tool.

📌 How You Can Use It There are two easy ways to get value from Terraform-Guardrail:

🔹 1. Integrate Guardrail in Your CI/CD Pipelines Install it as part of your pipeline (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Azure DevOps, Jenkins, etc.) by using the CLI:

terraform-guardrail scan ./your-terraform-repo --format json
This lets you block unsafe or non-compliant Terraform changes before they are merged or applied.

You can also generate Terraform snippets via:

terraform-guardrail generate aws aws_s3_bucket --name demo
and integrate guardrail responses into pipeline reporting and policy checks.

🔹 2. Use the Web-Based Streamlit App No setup required! Visit the Streamlit app — upload Terraform files and instantly get compliance insights and reports in your browser. This is great for quick checks, team demos, or learning Terraform compliance without installing anything.

📣 Why It Matters Guardrails in IaC are no longer optional — they are essential for secure, consistent, and scalable infrastructure delivery. Much like policy-as-code tooling prevents misconfigurations and enforce best practices at scale, Terraform-Guardrail helps you “shift left” and catch issues early in development.
