Using the AWS console to manage cloud infrastructure can be convenient and user-friendly, especially for beginners or small projects. Yet, it also carries inherent challenges when used at scale. In this post, we will dive deep into how ControlMonkey can assist you with transitioning manually-created environments to an Infrastructure as Code approach, integrating seamlessly with GitOps and Hashicorp Terraform.

Customers use AWS Service Catalog to create and manage a catalog of IT services and products approved for use on AWS. Learn how to use AWS Service Catalog Engine for Terraform Cloud to provision your products and benefit from a self-service provisioning model that removes the heavy lifting of managing Terraform infrastructure.

Many companies report the biggest challenge when adopting Kubernetes is a lack of in-house skills. Infrastructure as code (IaC) blueprints can mitigate these gaps by accelerating hands-on experience, providing a reproducible foundation to configure, provision, and destroy clusters easily. Learn how Sysdig launched an add-on for Amazon EKS as well as Sysdig EKS Blueprints to enable organizations to confidently deploy instrumented Kubernetes clusters using Terraform.

The HashiCorp Terraform AWS provider has surpassed more than one billion downloads, and every single Terraform apply starts with a provider credentials setup. The new dynamic provider credentials feature offers the ability to generate dynamic, short-lived credentials for Terraform Cloud runs using OIDC. This feature is now available for all Terraform Cloud tiers. Terraform Cloud is HashiCorp’s managed service offering and eliminates the heavy lifting for practitioners, teams, and organizations to use Terraform in production.

When you combine AWS CodeBuild with Snyk to deploy your infrastructure as code project, you gain a repeatable process that’s easy to track and manage that happens to include security results. AWS provides the automation while Snyk provides enhanced security. Learn how to manage an IaC project written with Terraform by HashiCorp and deployed with AWS CodeBuild, and review results before a scan and after when hidden issues are often revealed.

As companies grow, they often find themselves needing to migrate applications to new architectures that fit their needs. HashiCorp Consul is a service networking solution to automate network configurations, discover services, and enable secure connectivity across any cloud or runtime. With Consul, you can control traffic to and from services across different platforms from a single interface. In this post, explore a solution for routing service request from Amazon ECS to AWS Lambda using Consul.

It has become increasingly important for companies to meet security and compliance standards set forth across industries today, but this is particularly a hurdle for smaller ISVs and startups that do not have the resources and budget to navigate the ever-growing list. Learn about an approach and best practices for SOC 2 compliance, and how DuploCloud accelerates time to compliance by natively integrating security controls into mainstream DevOps workflows.

The increase in market uncertainty over the last couple of years has demonstrated the need for market participants to have a dynamic view of the risks and impacts due to market moves on their portfolios. This post explores how Validus, a leading independent technology-enabled financial services firm, built a Bloomberg real-time market data integration using serverless managed services on AWS.

Both AWS and Deloitte understand that a customer’s cloud journey is different and have their own set of requirements. This is why Deloitte’s Cyber CMS solution provides a wide range of options for businesses to choose from to create the right package for them.
