Infrastructure Testing explained
summary
Explains concrete practices: use Pulumi model tests (example asserts location = West Europe with Mocha) and Terraform plan+show parsing for fast model tests in milliseconds, run real infrastructure tests against Azure/Kubernetes where provisioning + destroy often costs 40–50 minutes per run, build a thin Kotlin/JUnit layer that invokes Terraform CLI (like Terratest) to provision, run HTTP checks, then destroy, keep test runs in a separate subscription with a weekly sweep, and gate deployments on human-reviewed plan output.
