Study Notes
- Infrastructure as code is a way to write down the details of an infrastructure so that it can be managed more easily.
- Traditional IT methods, such as deploying applications on servers, are slow and expensive.
- Infrastructure as code can be used to automate these processes, making them faster and more consistent.
- Configuration management tools, such as Ansible, puppet, Chef, Saltstack, can be used to manage an existing infrastructure that has been provisioned with infrastructure as code.
- IAC refers to the configuration of the cloud, and security refers to the protection of these configurations.
- Security risks with IAC are more difficult to handle when you start using multiple cloud services and environments.
- IAC security best practices include scanning for misconfiguration and automating security scanning.
- Prevent hard coding secrets into your IAC code and reduce the time and impact of code leaks.
- Enforcing the principle of least privilege access is key to protecting your data and systems from unauthorized access.
- Making use of security settings and policies as part of your security posture, hardening authentication, and enforcing SOD established security protocols will help to protect your data.
- Code that is easy to troubleshoot and understand will make it easier to identify and fix any security issues.
- Avoiding complexity in your code will make it easier to maintain and troubleshoot.
