How to mock S3 remote backend for Terraform in Python
Simulate a Terraform S3 remote backend using moto to write and read state files, enabling local testing without real AWS.
import boto3
from moto import mock_aws
import json
from pathlib import Path
@mock_aws
def demo_s3_remote_backend():
s3 = boto3.client("s3", region_name="us-east-1")
bucket = "terraform-state-bucket"
key = "env/prod/terraform.tfstate"
s3.create_bucket(Bucket=bucket)

A Python class that simulates CPU and memory limit checks for resource requests, returning clear acceptance or rejection messages.
class ResourceLimits:
def __init__(self, cpu_limit, memory_limit):
self.cpu_limit = cpu_limit
self.memory_limit = memory_limit
def check_request(self, cpu, memory):
if cpu > self.cpu_limit:
return "CPU limit exceeded: {cpu} > {limit}".format(cpu=cpu, limit=self.cpu_limit)

Simulate a Jenkins-style pipeline in Python by running sequential stages and checking aggregate success.
def run_stage(name, duration, fn):
print(f"[Pipeline] Running stage: {name}")
result = fn()
print(f"[Pipeline] Stage '{name}' completed in {duration}s -> {result}")

A mock init container that runs environment checks and a staged database migration job before the main application starts, printing progress to stdout.
```python
class MigrationJob:
def __init__(self, name, steps):
self.name = name
self.steps = steps
self.current_step = 0
self.status = "pending"
def run(self):
print(f"Initializing migration job: {self.name}")
