Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

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).

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

Kubernetes Security Checklist 2021
Workload configuration should be audited regularly (Kics, Kubeaudit, Kubescape, Conftest, Kubesec, Checkov)

Don't let your Terraform go rogue with Conftest and the Open Policy Agent
Insert Conftest! As they state in their GitHub description, Conftest tests against structured configuration data using the Open Policy Agent Rego query language. In the case of Terraform, this means we're actually running unit tests against sample JSON and actual tests against the Terraform state JSON.

Using Open Policy Agent and Conftest to Validate Your Openshift 4 IPI Configuration
While Rego is the policy language we use to assemble our policies, we still need something to run those policies with. If you have a cluster and you want to actively evaluate policies, you can end up running an instance of Open Policy Agent and it's associated tooling. However in our case, we just want to check things at runtime (or just on some recurring basis such as when changes get checked in or a pull request is submitted). In the latter instance, we are able to use another tool from the Open Policy Agent project called ConfTest. What ConfTest allows us to do is to specify a file or directory of files that we want to inspect along with the set of policies we want to inspect them with. It then takes all of that and dumps out the associated outputs from those policies and tell us the results (i.e. the messages, how many policies were checked and the results of those policies). This tool is much better suited for our use case, so this is what we will proceed with. To grab the latest version of ConfTest, you can grab the latest release from here.

Terraforming in 2021 – new features, testing and compliance
If you like terraform-compliance, Conftest might also be worth having a look. It has its own DSL to write policies, and allows you to test multiple frameworks. We found this blog post from Lennard Eijsackers very informative, and would thus rather recommend you to check it out.

Mental models for understanding Kubernetes Pod Security Policy PSP
Can Gatekeeper and Conftest single-source the same set of rules? I'm looking at https://github.com/open-policy-agent/conftest/issues/54#issuecomment-528988831 and not seeing how.
What are some alternatives?
terratest - Terratest is a Go library that makes it easier to write automated tests for your infrastructure code.
checkov - Prevent cloud misconfigurations and find vulnerabilities during build-time in infrastructure as code, container images and open source packages with Checkov by Bridgecrew.
goss - Quick and Easy server testing/validation
awspec - RSpec tests for your AWS resources.
tfsec - Security scanner for your Terraform code [Moved to: https://github.com/aquasecurity/tfsec]
tflint - A Pluggable Terraform Linter
container-structure-test - validate the structure of your container images
