Highlights
🔐 Avoid Plain-Text Secrets: Never store secrets in plaintext files; always use secure methods.
📝 Variables and .tfvars Files: Basic yet functional, allowing Terraform to retrieve secrets from a file.
💻 Environment Variables: Enhance security by storing secrets in environment variables, preventing accidental commits to version control.
🔒 HashiCorp Vault Integration: The most secure method, offering centralized secret management with robust features.
🔄 Rotate Secrets Regularly: Essential practice to maintain security and prevent unauthorized access.
🛡️ Encrypt State Files: Always protect Terraform state files to safeguard sensitive information.
📝 Version Control Best Practices: Utilize version control while ensuring secrets are never committed.
Best Practices for Terraform Security
- To ensure the highest level of security, Jeremy recommends several best practices:
- Always encrypt Terraform state files to protect sensitive data.
- Use version control but never commit secrets to repositories.
- Regularly rotate secrets to minimize the risk of unauthorized access.
- Enable audit logging to monitor and track all interactions with secrets.
- These practices collectively form a robust framework for securing secrets in Terraform, helping organizations maintain compliance and protect sensitive information.
