As one of the leading infrastructure specialists within your organization, your main responsibilities include building the Terraform modules your developer platform rests upon. While enthusiastic about the new Terraform test framework, you are also concerned about writing tests covering the complex interrelations between your modules. You see the need to test your infrastructure in layers, from the base of the platform up to the end-user facing applications.

If this resonates with you, you're not alone – I've been there too. Join me in this presentation where I'll guide you through a pragmatic approach to testing complex infrastructures step by step, employing a tiered integration testing approach. Our journey begins by validating the foundational virtual network, progresses through setting up a Kubernetes cluster, configuring base infrastructure services in the cluster, setting-up additional Kubernetes clusters with DNS load balancing, and it culminates with deployment of end-user facing applications.
