How to Test Infrastructure as Code Before It Breaks Production
from Software Testing with Fexingo: QA, Automation, and Reliable Software Engineering Hosted by Fexingo
A misconfigured Terraform template caused a major cloud provider outage in June 2026 — passing every unit test but failing in production. In this episode, Lucas and Luna examine why traditional QA fails for Infrastructure as Code and how teams can catch configuration drift, security misconfigurations, and state corruption before they reach live systems. They discuss practical tools like static analysis with Checkov, policy-as-code with Open Policy Agent, integration testing with Terratest, and the critical dry-run step that many teams skip. Whether you're managing a handful of containers or a sprawling Kubernetes cluster, you'll learn concrete techniques to make your infrastructure deployments safer. #SoftwareTesting #InfrastructureAsCode #Terraform #CloudOutage #DevOps #PolicyAsCode #Terratest #Checkov #Kubernetes #ConfigurationDrift #QAAutomation #ReliableEngineering #Technology #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusinessPodcast #TechPodcast #TestingInProduction Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
