What is PSRule?

PSRule is a rules engine geared towards testing Infrastructure as Code (IaC). Rules you write or import perform static analysis on IaC artifacts such as: templates, manifests, pipelines, and workflows.

Why use PSRule?

PSRule aims to provide a rich experience for building and running static analysis tests on IaC. While this has some similarities to traditional testing frameworks it extends on the following:

• Reuse and share — existing pre-built rules, configure, or write your own.
• Incremental adoption — with baselines allows you to keep moving forward.
• Handle exceptions — and keep exceptions auditable in git history.
• Documentation — provides recommendations and examples instead of just pass or fail.
