You have multiple team members collaborating on infrastructure as code (IaC) using Terraform, and want to apply formatting standards for readability.
How can you format Terraform HCL (HashiCorp Configuration Language) code according to standard Terraform style convention?

  2. Designate one person in each team to review and format everyone's code
  3. Manually apply two spaces indentation and align equal sign "=" characters in every Terraform file (*.tf)
  4. Write a shell script to transform Terraform files using tools such as AWK, Python, and sed

- Indent two spaces for each nesting level.
- When multiple arguments with single-line values appear on consecutive lines at the same nesting level, align their equals signs.
