I think it's fair to say that if you've written some Infrastructure as Code (IAC), then you're likely aware you should be testing that IaC before you merge it in to your main branches, and use it to deploy infrastructure and environments. But what are you looking to achieve in your tests? What are you meant to be testing against? What tools can you use to perform the testing? How do you get started?

In this session, I want to show you how you can use start shifting left with your IaC testing by using PSRule, and specifically focusing on PSRule for Azure. PSRule for Azure contains a pre-built set of tests which follow principals of the Well-Architected Framework, and these tests allow you to check your ARM and Bicep templates before or after deployment to Azure. You can also use the framework to create your own custom rules using YAML, JSON, or PowerShell.

If you're working with ARM or Bicep IaC templates and you want to ensure your templates are being tested, starting with over 340 pre-built rules to test Azure resources, then join me in this session and I'll introduce you to PSRule for Azure to get you started.
