With the rise of large, distributed systems, Infrastructure-as-code (IaC) has evolved from a best practice to a requirement in industry environments. Hashicorp’s Terraform has become the go to IaC solution for many companies. In this talk, we explore potential solutions for testing Terraform locally using AWS-mocking tools LocalStack and Moto. Specifically, this talk proposes a framework for testing Terraform configurations that can:
- identify errors locally that were previously only detectable in the cloud
- speed up test run time
- save costs
Our findings show the benefits of testing Terraform configurations locally but highlight the need for further research.
