Terraforming in 2021 – new features, testing and compliance
Before we dive into own cloud provider compliance checking services, we want to highlight yet another open source tool, namely InSpec. It allows you to write tests in ruby, and was built on top of RSpec. If you know already awsspec, then this should feel very similar, with the advantage that InSpec also supports GCP and Azure.

Ruby: "the best" language for general automation
The course uses Chef Inspec, an open source Ruby DSL. I made a POC with this tool to automatically check repositories on GitHub, checks like if it contains a gitignore consistent with the language used, if node_modules is not present, etc.
- what tool do you use for validating hardening settings have been applied. this is for security and hardening purposes. for example, ensure that admin username is not default username, password is at least 12 characters with upper, lower and special characters, https is enabled etc

Why do you guys think testing is not a very prominent topic in the cloud native community ?
We are using Inspec to double check that the changes are indeed what we expect them to be. If anyone knows a better tool, please share

Is there any kind of Pester Server for infrastructure tests?
https://github.com/inspec/inspec Chef Inspec is probably a great tool for what you’re trying to do. Great at building human readable test cases for validation of infrastructure deployments. At a different org I used to use PoSh, Terraform and Ansible etc. for deploying on-prem and cloud infrastructure and then Inspec for testing for successful deployments, security misconfigurations (is a port open that shouldn’t be etc).

- Checking compliance of controls? Job help
- Unit tests for hardened images

Automated Configuration Analysis?
If you need the monitoring for compliance reason, Chef InSpec was designed for this exact usecase.
- Compliance Scans for Images
