## What it is
awspec is a Ruby gem that lets you write RSpec tests for AWS resources, verifying their configuration and state. It provides a CLI for scaffolding specs and supports many AWS resource types, including integration with Terraform outputs.

## Use cases
- test that my EC2 instances are running with the right security groups
- write RSpec tests for AWS infrastructure
- verify VPC and subnet configuration with automated tests
- validate AWS resources created by Terraform
- check SQS queue settings in tests
- infrastructure compliance testing for AWS

## When to choose
- you use Ruby/RSpec and want to test real AWS resource state
- you need infrastructure tests that complement Terraform or CloudFormation
- you want a large library of AWS resource type matchers

## When to avoid
- you use Python (consider moto or pytest-based tools)
- you want policy-as-code compliance scanning rather than RSpec tests
- you need to test non-AWS clouds

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: active
- function: testing, cli
- domain: cloud-computing, testing, infrastructure-as-code, developer-tools
- platform: ruby, cli, cross-platform
- tags: aws, rspec, infrastructure-testing, ruby-gem, terraform
