Didn't realize you can run OPA with TFLint!

I was pleasantly surprised to see that TFLint created an OPA plugin! In the past, I've wanted to create a custom TFLint plugin with my own rulesets, but the overhead of maintaining it over time seemed pretty daunting. I played around with the OPA ruleset and it makes it exponentially easier to write Rego for the things I care about. I wrote a little blog on how I configured and incorporated it into my pipelines and pre-commit hooks! Wire it up to Atmos and you have a little compliance as code framework baked right next to your IaC

AI;DR is the new TL;DR

Hot off the press! I will enjoy testing this one. It could bring some of the discipline of (template-specific) CloudFormation execution roles to Terraform.
