Test twice, deploy once: Testing Infrastructure code on AWS

The old saying goes: "Measure twice, cut once" — as now, infrastructure IS code, we need to apply the same to infrastructure delivery. By making sure all of our code is tested before making any changes to production we can lower any potential risk bad code can introduce to our end product.
