Intentionally vulnerable Terraform infrastructure for learning cloud misconfiguration detection and DevSecOps practices across AWS, Azure, and GCP.
TerraGoat is Bridgecrew's "Vulnerable by Design" Terraform repository.

TerraGoat is Bridgecrew's "Vulnerable by Design" Terraform repository. TerraGoat is a learning and training project that demonstrates how common configuration errors can find their way into production cloud environments.
TerraGoat was built to enable DevSecOps design and implement a sustainable misconfiguration prevention strategy. It can be used to test a policy-as-code framework like Bridgecrew & Checkov, inline-linters, pre-commit hooks or other code scanning methods.
TerraGoat follows the tradition of existing *Goat projects that provide a baseline training ground to practice implementing secure development best practices for cloud infrastructure.
Before you proceed please take a not of these warning:
⚠️ TerraGoat creates intentionally vulnerable AWS resources into your account. DO NOT deploy TerraGoat in a production environment or alongside any sensitive AWS resources.
To prevent vulnerable infrastructure from arriving to production see: Bridgecrew & checkov, the open source static analysis tool for infrastructure as code.
You can deploy multiple TerraGoat stacks in a single AWS account using the parameter TF_VAR_environment.
