More and more organizations are picking up the DevOps practices and controlling their infrastructure using code - following the Infrastructure as Code (IaC) principles. However, every code, including IaC, needs testing, otherwise stakeholders risk security issues with everything that comes along. To this end, the European Union's Horizon 2020 project - PIACERE - is proposing DevSecOps methodology focusing on security and extensive testing. In this talk, I focus on the dynamic testing approaches marketed as the PIACERE Canary Sandbox Environment (CSE). The CSE extends open source software, contributing back to the ecosystem, and allows to test the IaC in a controlled environment.
