This regex /^'sql-(\d)+.log'/ doesn't match this string sql-20201212.log. You can try it out on https://regexr.com/

There are a few problems with your regex:

' is in your regex but not in your string
. matches any character expect line breaks, perhaps you want to match only a dot(?), if so, then you'd need to e.g. escape it \.
you probably don't need to have \d in a group (())

So, this regex ^sql-\d+\.log$ would match sql-20201212.log string. I also added $ to match the end of the string.

SQL Server Print Output to Chef inspec

The SQL Server print messages are not taken into chef inspec for validation. Do we have an option to validate.

Below chef inspec sample code donot take the SQL Server print message.

ANSWER

Answered 2020-Nov-22 at 20:10

Instead of PRINT 'OK' use SELECT 'OK' AS value / SELECT 'NOT OK' AS value.

Programmatically getting a hold of PRINT messages can be done but you need code to listen to the connection's InfoMessage event. Basically you'd need to dig into the code for either mssql_session or sql.query... which you probably don't want to do.

Can I pass a *reference* to an environment variable in a docker CMD?

Asked 2020-Oct-22 at 11:21

I running a docker container through an ECS task, and attempting to override the Docker CMD in the Task Definition. I do not have control over the docker container, but by default it has an entrypoint of "/share/script.sh".

This entrypoint script, ultimately, invokes Chef Inspec (a compliance checking application) with arguments passed in from $@, like this:

ANSWER

Answered 2020-Oct-22 at 11:21

The best way might be to move this option into your startup script. You can't do this with only CMD syntax.

If you're willing to part with the container-as-command pattern, you can achieve this by not having an ENTRYPOINT and using the string form of CMD:

QUESTION

Handling Terraform provider credentials in distributed environment with InSpec and remote state

Asked 2020-Oct-20 at 11:01

Does anyone have any cool ideas on how to handle Terraform provider credentials for AWS given these use cases:

Distributed environments (prod/pre/qa/test/dev) with individual AWS accounts
S3 backend remote state for all environments in a single AWS account
Test Kitchen using InSpec.

My current workflow requires changing the AWS_ACCESS_KEY and AWS_SECRET_KEY depending on the operation:

terraform init - requires access to S3 backend remote state
terraform plan/apply - requires access to specific environment + remote state
- Non-functional (a single set of credentials doesn't have access to both the env + remote state)
kitchen converge - requires access to test environment + remote state
- Non-functional (same reason as above)
kitchen verify - requires access to test environment.

Ideas

I wish I could store the S3 remote state in the respective environment accounts but variables don't seem to be supported in the Terraform backend configuration.

...

ANSWER

Answered 2020-Oct-20 at 11:01

You will need the main account to be able to assume a role on each env account to perform the changes, while the remote main account will keep all states. This is a good way to work with terraform worspaces Assuming you have two workspaces, prod and dev, you can try something like this:
