Getting started with Snyk Infrastructure as Code (IaC)

Get started with Snyk IaC to inspect, find and fix issues in configuration files for Terraform or Kubernetes (including Helm) environments. For more information, see Scan Kubernetes configuration files and Scan Terraform files.
This article describes a process using the Snyk.io UI. For details of using IaC with the Snyk CLI, see Snyk CLI for Infrastructure as Code.
Prerequisites
Ensure you have:
A Snyk account (go to https://snyk.io/ and sign up - see Create a Snyk account for details).
An existing Kubernetes or Terraform environment to work in.
Integrated your Git repository as for other Snyk products - see Git repository (SCM) integrations for more details.
For more details, see:
​Configure your integration to find security issues in your Kubernetes configuration files​
