Chris Smith – Continuous Delivery and Infrastructure Testing: A Perfect Fit
As cloud-native applications become the norm, it is increasingly important to test infrastructure changes as well as core logic. How can you ensure that your application can still be deployed? Or verify that networking changes won’t break access to other microservices?
It might surprise you, but you can test your infrastructure along with any other code changes.
This talk will go deep into how to add “Infrastructure Testing” to your Continuous Delivery process. We’ll cover:
– Infrastructure as Code, and how tools like Pulumi can radically simplify how you manage cloud infrastructure.
– Different types of Infrastructure Tests, and classes of problems you’ll want to look out for.
– Running Infrastructure Tests in your GitLab Pipelines.
