IAM Policy Autopilot Now Reads Your Terraform Plans

IAM Policy Autopilot, the open source tool launched at re:Invent 2025, just leveled up—it can now generate scoped-down IAM policies directly from Terraform plan files, eliminating the need to manually write policies for infrastructure-as-code deployments. The tool analyzes your Terraform plans and creates policies with specific resource ARNs instead of wildcards, saving you hours of policy troubleshooting and making least-privilege access actually practical.
