Like any other code, infrastructure code deserves automated tests. But while many of us have taken the first few steps toward infrastructure as code, we are not all testing our infrastructure:

- Store the infrastructure code in Git? Check!
- (Automatically) apply the infrastructure code during deployment? Check!
- Test that #3 behaved as expected? Uh???
This presentation discusses infrastructure testing in the context of Bash, Linux, and AWS. Come to learn the tools available and how to write infrastructure tests for maximum effect.
