All these tools are overwhelming
that’s why devops is so massive

Thanks Sanjeev

It seems like we need to have to copies of the .tf file. One with the endpoints pointing to local stack and one without so it can communicate with aws. Is there a way to make it easier to combine the two .tf files so the transition from testing to deployment is easier ?

[raghuveer]

Waiting for this video. Thanks for doing this video

Man You Are Good at explaing things just CLICKED SUBSCRIBED!!!!

[brian.a.]

Couple questions: 1) does this account for things like an account’s reserved concurrency limit?, 2) does this actually return errors, say your tfstate is out of sync and you try to create a resource that already exists, will it catch that? 3) Say you misconfigured a permission, such as a lambdas ability to access a db, I imagine this won’t catch errors like that, correct? 4) What is the difference between just running terraform plan instead of using local stack?

Thanks for the explanations and demo. I just have one question, how does this work with sdks like the go-sdk-v2? Do we still have to create mock interfaces in go code?

[blipintime]

Thanks for introducing the LocalStack, it sounds helpful. I wanted to test the Cloud Formation Scripts locally before I can apply them in AWS directly. Does this help ?

[bugsbunny]

how can you simply display a page using this ec2 like nginx on port 80 to see a sample page?

[galleon]

Thanks, does it have a console output?

[captainhwkeye]

This video is awesome. So it seems it works only for AWS. Is there any other such tool which works for Azure?

[silvermig]

To what extend can I use LocalStack to practice for my AWS Certifications?

[bgadicha]

How do I get to know the IP address of the ec2 instance I created? The localstack log does not show it.

[tba]

It seems that it doesn't work if you don't have an AWS_API_KEY even with localstack it will ask for credentials so with no access to real aws it seems not working, that's what I am facing

[alainpannetier]

Great. What if we actually want to plug some back end behind the API?
Like
- creating a folder somewhere for an S3 bucket.
- kicking off a VM with our AMI for an EC2 instance...
- or even ckick off a local "EKS Anywhere" instance.
Does Localstack support this? You know like a plugin architecture stuff. With community contribs.
It should really. That's the first idea any geek would have.
