In part 1 of this walkthrough, we set up a CI/CD pipeline to define, commit, deploy, and secure infrastructure as code. To recap, here are the components:
Read MoreFugue allows you to easily and programmatically validate your cloud infrastructure for security and compliance. By integrating Fugue into your CI/CD pipeline, you can detect resource misconfiguration and compliance violations as part of every deployment.
Read MoreWe recently open sourced our tool Regula, which allows you to check your Terraform infrastructure as code for compliance prior to deployment. Regula can be used locally or as part of a CI/CD system, independently of Fugue or with Fugue.
Read MoreFugue performs more than 100 million policy validations a day in order to identify compliance violations for cloud infrastructure environments at scale. These policy-as-code validations are written in Rego, the policy language for the Open Policy Agent (OPA) engine. To enhance the process of writing and debugging Rego policies, we recently open-sourced fregot, the Fugue Rego Toolkit. You can think of fregot as an alternative to OPA's built-in interpreter -- the REPL allows you interactively debug Rego code with easy-to-understand error messages, and you can evaluate expressions and test policies. Read more about it in our blog post here.
Read MoreIn part two of the Cloud Network Security blog series, we will discuss two methods of securing your network within Amazon Web Services: security groups and network access control lists (NACLs). Both resource types act as a virtual firewall to protect your network, and they have some similarities. For example, security groups and NACLs both use sets of inbound and outbound rules to control traffic to and from resources in a VPC.
Read MoreNetwork security is critical to operating in the cloud. There are many different ways you can secure your network, but the best approach is to layer multiple methods. The more layers implemented in your security, the harder it is for malicious actors to access your network.
