Testing the Terraform configuration using Kitchen-Terraform

We have already studied, in the Testing Terraform module code with Terratest recipe of this chapter, how to test Terraform modules using the Terratest framework.

In this recipe, we will test Terraform configuration using another tool: KitchenCI and its Kitchen-Terraform plugin.

Kitchen-Terraform is written in Ruby and is a plugin for KitchenCI (more simply called Kitchen), which is an IaC testing tool. To apply this recipe properly, you must first understand the principles and workflow of Kitchen, documented at https://kitchen.ci/index.html.
