Moving Fast Together: Test-Driven Infrastructure

on YouTube ↗22m

" summary

Claims a workflow that runs infrastructure tests inside CI using the inspec gem, no agents on production, and integrates with Test Kitchen and Chef. Shows concrete results: running a hardening profile against two VMs and catching specific failures, using impact scoring to decide which failures block deploys, using profile inheritance to modify tests per environment, and exporting JSON output for dashboards so CI reports are machine-readable and actionable.
