(Cross Promo) Automating your Infrastructure Deployments with "CloudFormation"

Collider Members,

In this demo, Chuck Meyer will give you a quick tour of using GitHub and Travis CI to test and build your CloudFormation defined AWS infrastructure. The focus will be integrating testing tools like cfn-lint and taskcat to validate environments prior to deployment.
