Happy New Year! So, I’ve been thinking lately about ways to add coding challenges to an interview process. They, of course, would be set up in an isolated account (AWS)/project(GCP)/subscription (AZURE). They would have environment variables that could change the answer. For this example, I’ll be using an unauthenticated GCP…

I thought I’d put a post together after being inspired by this Cloud Village talk. I recommend giving it a watch. I’m just adding some additional info. So for many years and still now, a lot of companies still use initialize a bastion. Bastions are servers with the primary purpose…

So I’m starting to pick up on this pattern that if I don’t do enough Terraform/CloudSec automation/Python/Go at work, I’ll end up doing it over the weekend. And if I’m getting my “fix”, I guess, I stop posting article for long periods of time….is this that thing they call balance…

Just a small journey on how I discovered and started printing Ear Savers — Hey Reader! I hope you’re doing well during quarantine.

…and I’m not just talking about run a scheduled scan with credentials already set. I’m talking about deploying a virtual scanner appliance into a subnetwork of a project in GCP (provided that you have the correct Organizational level role to do so), performing an ad-hoc scan against hosts (complete with…

I may be a tad late to this challenge but that may be because I had to learn a bit of Golang first. I’ve never really used it before but after a couple of weeks, honestly, it’s starting to grow on me. If you are looking to get started with…

Hey all, it’s been a while since I posted but I’m back! I’ll be posting a lot more Google Cloud stuff as I’m learning it. The Terraform scripts for this are on my Github. This will provision a compute engine, set up a couple of firewall rules, and configure the…

I was originally making this tutorial using DynamoDB, API Gateway and Lambda but I decided that I needed more practice with Google Cloud Platform. Setup The acronyms I’m using for this tutorial are from here. You’ll need to log into the Google Cloud Platform and create a new project if you…
