Running Tests against LocalStack using GitHub action

My Workflow

This workflow I designed to run tests against LocalStack. I hope this Github action will help developer community or testers to test their respective test cases against LocalStack instead of executing it against the AWS Cloud which could be costly in some cases. For sample Lambda tests, I have referred This Repo.

This github action flow is very simple and consists of following three steps-

Step 1
Running localstack services.

Step 2
Install python and other test dependencies

Step 3
Run the tests against LocalStack

The details such as Yaml file and Link to code are given below
