Overview What You Will Learn Curriculum Instructor

Course Overview

In today’s fast-paced DevOps environments, ensuring that infrastructure is secure, reliable, and functioning as intended is critical. Infrastructure testing plays a vital role in validating Infrastructure as Code (IaC), allowing teams to catch issues early in the deployment pipeline. Azure DevOps, combined with modern testing frameworks, empowers professionals to create automated and scalable infrastructure tests for cloud-based environments, helping maintain system integrity and operational efficiency.

This course begins with an introduction to infrastructure testing fundamentals, emphasizing the role of continuous delivery and building infrastructure on Azure for testing purposes. It then dives into using Chef InSpec to validate production environments, including writing tests for storage accounts, virtual machines, and automating these checks with Terraform. Learners also explore Terratest using the Go programming language to validate key infrastructure components such as VMs and resource groups. The final module covers application observability and monitoring with OpenTelemetry, Azure Application Insights, and Azure Monitor Alerts.

This chapter-based course equips learners with practical testing tools and skills to validate, monitor, and secure cloud infrastructure using Azure DevOps.
