Test permutations with Terraform and GitHub Actions

I continue my exploration of the new Terraform testing framework with this post where I demonstrate how to run permutations of a given test using GitHub Actions. Specifically I’ll dive into an example where our module depend on a different module, and we are required to support a given number of recent versions of this module.
Testing Framework in Terraform 1.6: A deep-dive

This post follows up on my comprehensive guide to testing in Terraform. The testing framework is new and untested (pun not intended), but it already offers a lot of possibilities that will lead to better Terraform modules. In this post I will explore all the options that are available in the new run block and the new

Kubernetes provider for Bicep together with user-defined types

Azure Bicep is constantly evolving. The latest release brought a preview of user-defined functions, but in this post I am using modules as a substitute for user-defined functions. I will create Kubernetes deployments through a module, where the module is as close to a function as you can come. I will also be using another experimental feature of Bicep: user-defined types.
How to promote releases between GitOps environments

In this post I will go through an example of how you can promote releases between different GitOps environments. The sample application I use consists of a simple Helm chart. I will use Argo CD as my GitOps operator. Automation workflows are created using GitHub Actions.
