DIGS DC Day

About Jan’s session “Cloud Automation Security: The elephant in the room”

Remember the times when we did everything (and then some) to protect and minimize access to the management interfaces of our infrastructure, and isolate it from users and production networks? Today, we expose an entire cloud’s API to the Internet, and over IT, aim to provide as much cloud automation functionality as possible.

Think about this for a minute, knowing about our historic (dis)ability to write robust, reliable, and secure software in an emerging industry. I will present various cloud automation risks, and suggest a robust approach for preventing catastrophic automation-related security failures.
