startbootstrap-resume VS Moto

The foundation of my project was hosting a static website on GCP's Cloud Storage. While I'm bad at web design, I modified this template to suit my needs.

The site is using the Resume theme from Start bootstrap - https://startbootstrap.com/theme/resume

Firstly, I don't know how to create websites using CSS and HTML from the ground up. Bootstrap has great opensource startup templates, so I borrowed them for my use. After uploading the files to my S3 bucket, I immediately bought a domain name for my website. After that I provisioned a certificate for my domain for HTTPS.

> OpenMoto

I dunno if you're trying to play on "hashimoto" but https://github.com/getmoto/moto#readme would be a prime name collision for any such "OpenMoto" name

But yes, please, to adopting Vault. I don't have a horse in the race about Consul but my suspicion is such an effort would only be worthwhile if trying to adopt Nomad, too, which I gravely doubt

Unfortunately I do not believe AWS provides any "test" gateways. I do know there are mock AWS servers you can run on your own. The one I use is called Moto. It does not cover everything (unfortunately it's the most comprehensive out there AFAIK), but it's decent enough to test most standard calls via the sdk. I'm not sure if it covers authorization though...we tend to use security roles on tasks for authorization.

If using Python use Moto to mock AWS Services

You can use a library such as moto https://github.com/getmoto/moto

The Pythonic motto library mocks AWS services, removing the need to deploy your application or pay for API calls against AWS services. Other programming languages have their motto implementation.

Has anyone managed to configure moto (https://docs.getmoto.org/en/latest/) in a docker container in the similar way LocalStack does?

As for mocking, you can take a look at the moto library for mocking the AWS SDK, or for more simple cases even just use a `unittest.Mock/MagicMock` object. If you're having trouble trying to use the mocks in your code, it's a good sign your code is too highly coupled and it'd pay to re-factor, for example using dependency injection, design patterns like adapter/facade etc. (but don't over-do it)

To add on to the integration tests point, for mocking out your AWS resources you should check out moto if you don't want run your test against real AWS resources as they may cost you and is usually slower.
