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).
