Terraform Comment

We use a tool called tfcmt to comment on Terraform pull requests with the results of terraform plan and terraform validate to give reviewers more context on the changes being proposed.

To do this, we use a GitHub fine grained access token.

The token must have the following permissions:

  • Issues: Read and write

The token needs to be created under the organisation - you can create a token for the user or for any organizations the user is a member of.

To renew this token, login as the owner account from the guide.

Go to Settings > Developer settings > Personal access tokens and find the token named tfcmt.

Click Regenerate and then update the value in the github-api-token secret in the infra-vault-nonprod Azure Key Vault with the new token value.
