Have you wanted to test things that you know how to run in your bash scripts or terminal, but aren't quite sure how to make it happen? Take a look at the Bash Automated Testing System (BATS) and make that dream a reality!

By writing automated and repeatable tests with BATS, you can create a validation framework that works equally well in your terminal and CI/CD pipelines, giving you the opportunity to pass "smoke tests" before flagging your k8s resources as production-ready.

In this post we will go over a few examples of how to test basic API connectivity, as well as some more complex tests that you may want to perform.

If you're a home media enthusiast, chances are you have at least heard of Plex Media Server.

Sounds like a winning decision!
