Testing Infrastructure as Code with the CDK for Terraform
When writing Infrastructure as Code, how do you check for issues such as logic errors, compliance, resource relationships, and breaking changes? The CDK for Terraform (CDKTF) provides the tooling and workflows to safe guard against these problems with unit, integration, and snapshot testing. Join Ansgar Mertens (@amrtns), Mutahir Hayat (@mutahhir), and J. Cole Morrison (@jcolemorrison) in this stream where they'll cover a testing workflow with the CDKTF in context of an Amazon Web Services (AWS) based infrastructure.
