Snyk IaC

snyk iac test <path>

Scans infrastructure as code with Snyk IaC, detecting misconfigurations in Terraform, CloudFormation, and Kubernetes.

Run it in the IaC pipeline when you want the analysis with the Snyk ecosystem: snyk iac test analyzes the files (Terraform, CloudFormation, Kubernetes, Helm) and reports findings — misconfigurations with the rule, severity, and line — with the suggested fix. It's Snyk's IaC: the integration with the ecosystem (the same flow as SAST and SCA). In DevSecOps, Snyk IaC is the pipeline gate: high-severity findings are blocked before apply.

Don't use it without an account: snyk iac test requires Snyk authentication (free tier with limits). And watch out: Snyk's rule coverage (known misconfigurations) — your organization's own policies are covered with custom rules or with terraform-compliance (046). Findings are triaged (false positives). For multi-format open source, Checkov/KICS (044/047); Snyk IaC is the option for the Snyk ecosystem.
