Look inside
You’ve been hired by QryptoTremolo, a startup that’s been developing a set of next-generation financial services, to lower the risk of security breaches. The company has chosen to develop and operate in AWS. Its development teams have had unrestricted access to the AWS accounts, and ad hoc development has evolved organically, increasing the risk for security breaches. To uplevel security in these accounts, you’ll deploy CloudFormation templates and develop a suite of automated pytest tests to verify their configuration. Next, you’ll build a CI/CD CodeBuild pipeline that triggers on infrastructure changes and deploys and tests the changes across the organization. This change control automation will enable you to respond quickly—and confidently—to changing business needs.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
