GLITCH

GLITCH is a technology-agnostic framework that enables automated detection of IaC smells. GLITCH allows polyglot smell detection by transforming IaC scripts into an intermediate representation, on which different smell detectors can be defined. The extension allows Infrastructure as Code developers to receive visual feedback for the smells identified in their code, while programming in Visual Studio Code.

Features

The extension runs GLITCH in the background and provides visual feedback for the detected smells:
