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

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
I gave it a read and nothing really stood out as being unreasonable unless you can point to specifics. Inspec is open source.
You can use something like inspec to do this.

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

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.

Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
TFLint is a Terraform linter focused on possible errors, best practices, and style conventions in your Terraform code.

Top 10 terraform tools you should know about.
TFlint is a powerful linter for Terraform, designed to catch errors and issues that terraform plan may not detect. As Terraform grows in popularity for infrastructure as code, the need for robust tools to ensure code quality and reliability becomes paramount. TFlint fulfills this need by analyzing Terraform configurations to find problems that are not covered by syntax checks. It checks for things like unsuitable AWS instance types, incorrect IAM policy syntax, and the use of deprecated syntax or features. By integrating TFlint into the development process, users can proactively identify potential problems, improving the stability and efficiency of their infrastructure deployments. This additional layer of validation is crucial for maintaining high standards in complex, cloud-based infrastructures.

Saw a not-so-good thing in my pipeline. How do we fix it?
Looking at the description, https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint , I think it's not what I am looking for. The reason I used a different tcp port is to make the health check on load balancer fail. It's also the same as not changing the tcp port but developer making a code change in their javascript, nodejs, java, etc fail to start properly. If that happens, load balancer's health check will fail as well.

Sorting variables and outputs
https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint The output suggests the ordered way for variables and other issues/warnings
Indeed, that is the case, atm. Your comment got me searching a little bit more. It seems that they are planning to implement a flag for small fixes https://github.com/terraform-linters/tflint/issues/266

Looking for a tool to enforce policies on terraform files names/content
Sounds like tflint to me!
