Terraform Plan Diff Explainer

Before you type 'yes' at the apply prompt.

A terraform plan's wall of +, -, and ~ symbols across dozens or hundreds of lines is easy to skim past, especially under the time pressure of an infrastructure change that needs to ship. This tool actually parses the plan's resource action lines into a plain-English summary of what will be created, updated in-place, or destroyed, distinguishes a genuine update from a destructive replace (destroy + recreate), and specifically flags any security group rule opening access to 0.0.0.0/0 — the entire internet — before you type 'yes' at the apply prompt.
