Look inside
Data protection is integral to any modern business. Companies need to ensure their users’ financial and personal information is safe, secure, and kept in compliance with security standards.

In this liveProject, you’ll step into the shoes of a DevOps consultant who needs to produce card data storage compliance reports for auditors—right before your Hawaiian vacation! You’ll get hands-on experience developing a system that can scan production servers, generate compliance results, and automatically rectify issues.

You’ll use AWS and Terraform to spin up your infrastructure, create and remove testing servers on-demand with Ansible, and scan your security standards with OpenSCAP. Finally, you’ll automate the project, creating a simple website that delivers compliance reports while you enjoy the sand and sun.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
