Gareth Rushgrove joins Scott Lowe on the Full Stack Journey podcast. Today’s episode examines Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). IaC is not a new topic on the podcast; we’ve talked about Terraform  (Episode 27), Pulumi (Episode 30), and Lyra (Episode 32). This time around, Scott and Gareth’s conversation focuses on the value of testing and validation for IaC environments. The episode explores topics such as: * The importance of IaC to IT professionals, even those working in smaller organizations * The types of testing (unit and integration) and validation you can incorporate into IaC implementations * Some of the tools available for validation and testing * A natural path or “progression” for folks to use when adopting validation and testing * Should IT professionals using IaC also look at at CI pipelines? If you’re learning or adopting IaC, this is a highly-recommended listen! Show Links: Gareth Rushgrove on Twitter Gareth’s DevOps Weekly newsletter Conftest Open Policy Agent
