Terraform `validate` and `fmt`

Good code isn't just about functionality; it's about readability and correctness. For Infrastructure as Code (IaC), this is even more critical, as errors can lead to costly infrastructure issues.

Terraform provides built-in tools to help: validate and fmt. These ensure your configurations are syntactically correct and consistently formatted.

The terraform validate command checks your configuration files for syntax errors and internal consistency. It ensures that your code is structurally sound before you attempt to apply it.

This includes verifying variable types, resource arguments, and provider configurations. It's a quick way to catch mistakes without interacting with your cloud provider.
