Bringing Software Development Practices to Your Infrastructure
summary
Uses AWS CDK to test‑drive a private S3 bucket ensuring encryption and bucket properties, with a failing unit test that becomes green after adding the config. Generates a CloudFormation template and deploys (demo deploy run ~25 minutes) then runs InSpec integration tests against EC2 and a newly provisioned RDS Postgres to verify engine, version, instance class and security group port. Integration tests also detect drift from cloud resources. CI/CD pipeline recommendation: version control, code review, unit and integration tests to shrink blast radius and catch bugs earlier.
