Streamlining provisioning with HCP Terraform and ServiceNow
summary
Shows a live integration that turns custom ServiceNow catalog forms into HCP Terraform workspaces, runs terraform plan/apply, and blocks bad code with post-plan run tasks infra cost and Snyk. Demo provisions an S3 and a VPC (29 resources) and Snyk halts a policy that left 0.0.0.0/0 open. Uses GitHub modules in HCP private registry, OIDC role assumption for AWS, TF_VAR naming and non-encrypted ServiceNow variables, and reduces delivery to 24 hours.
