AI is writing more of your Terraform

This SonarSource blog post describes four recurring failure modes in AI-generated Terraform—permissive IAM/defaults, omitted security blocks, hardcoded secrets, and stale provider patterns—citing benchmark studies that show frontier LLMs perform poorly on IaC; it explains why terraform validate/plan miss these semantic security issues and recommends SonarQube's IaC analysis and quality gates (IDE checks, PR decoration, agentic analysis, and merge-gate enforcement) to detect and block such misconfigurations before they reach production.
