Week 10 Posting - Infrastructure as Code

One of the things I like about the prospect of using cloud systems is the ability to build infrastructure from code. Typically, it can take infrastructure teams days or weeks to provision systems for development teams to use. With infrastructure as code, this can be built in minutes! With infrastructure as code, using standard written configs, a set of servers to assist the teams can be brought up or destroyed as needed. This helps teams that are trying to be more agile. When looking for bottlenecks in a process, infrastructure is usually part of the problem. With infrastructure as code, this is solved and gives infrastructure teams a new skill to help with on-premises management as well.

Week 5 Posting - VXLAN and Broadcast Security

A newer concept to me is the VXLAN. I have heard of spanning VLANs over layer3 networks, but it is typically an expensive endeavor that has never made sense to me in the past. Using VXLANs where the MAC is inserted at layer 4 instead of layer 2 to create an overlay network seems like it might be a better option where broadcast domains need to be joined. The thing that I don't like doing in my own networks, though, is relying on broadcast or flat network dependent traffic. Usually my experience has been that this dependence is related to poorly developed applications. This might be changing, and it would be interesting to know if companies are using VXLANs more or if security best practices are changing in a way that allows this to be a standard. One of the things I have seen changing a little is better endpoint security, where the network layer isn't the most prominent place to protect systems. EDR has brought a lot of security down to the host. If this trend continues, the mor...

Week 1 Posting - Introduction

My name is Dustin Pike, and the class I am doing this blog for marks the halfway point of my bachelor's degree! It has been a challenging time balancing life, work, and school - but also rewarding. I am looking forward to this class because it is a topic everyone is talking about.  Cloud computing and doing more in the cloud is a hot topic, and at the same time needs to be evaluated based on the use case. I don't think the cloud is perfect for every use case, but for the cases it makes sense it can provide much-needed flexibility and accessibility to companies. I have a little bit of experience in this area from taking classes and getting my AWS foundations certification a few years ago. The cloud landscape is changing so much that I have no delusions that I have a lot to learn. I'm looking forward to gaining new knowledge, and hopefully being able to apply it to my work life as well.

Week 7 Posting - Root Account Safety

When talking about root accounts, I think it is important to acknowledge their purpose and how to protect them. Root accounts usually can't be deleted outright, and that isn't a bad thing. Having a root account be a break-glass account is beneficial when a system like directory services or SSO isn't working. They are sometimes critical when an incident happens and immediate access is needed. Knowing that they can't be removed, my goal is to know every time they are used. I like to have security systems tied to these platforms to get an alert when someone has needed to use the root account. This gives the administrators flexibility to do their work, but also holds them accountable for following a process. The key to this is having well-documented root account names and a log aggregator like a SIEM with alerts set up for authentication attempts.
