Clean Your Cloud with Cloud Custodian
One of the great things about using the cloud is how easy it is to spin up resources and use them. The downside is it is really easy to spin up resources and forget about them. Sprawl becomes a real problem. You waste money if you fail to shut them down when you finish with them or even overnight. And it isn’t just costs. Managing a cloud infrastructure can be a real pain. Who spun this up? What project is it for? Does it need to be shut down? When? Shouldn’t it be encrypted? Cloud Custodian is an easy-to-use framework that allows simple YAML files to specify how to gather, filter,...
Scale Test Environments Using Cloud Infrastructure for Continuous Testing
PreviewThe challenges of managing test environments in the fast-paced world of software development are numerous, ranging from complexity and resource limitations. Traditional on-premises solutions often offer limited scalability and cause bottlenecks that hinder continuous testing. This presentation tackles these challenges head-on by proposing a shift to cloud-based test environments underpinned by Infrastructure as Code. By embracing the cloud, organizations can dynamically create and tear down test environments as needed, freeing up valuable resources. Integration with CI/CD pipelines...
Continuous Integration of AWS Serverless Applications
The primary draw for implementation of AWS serverless applications is the supposed simplicity. Anyone that has attempted to implement testing within a CI pipeline on a serverless application, however, knows that it is anything but simple. Serverless technologies allow for the faster construction of more complex applications with more complex integrations while also providing new technologies and execution environments, all of which pose a challenge to those used to testing in a more traditional way. This presentation looks at an API-based serverless application as an example and introduces...
