Cloud Security Programming for Practical Use (AWS, Python, Terraform)

Join us for this lecture! 🤗

• Terraform allows you to easily check and work on changes without having to access the console.
• Building a security dashboard with Python + Streamlit.
• Let's design and deploy VPC Cidr and AWS Network Firewall and get familiar with Terraform!

Q. Can I learn Python and Terraform in such a short course?

There was a time when I thought I could become a good person by knowing as much as possible. However, the truly good ones are those who actually create and experience things . Since then, I've stopped trying to know everything and start learning, and instead, I've been exploring and studying the necessary knowledge through experience.

This course is designed to get you started. It covers the most frequently used functions in real-world work, along with helpful information for collaboration. You'll learn simple yet practical concepts , and as needed, you'll explore additional resources to help you quickly understand and apply the knowledge you need.

Q. I'm running a cloud platform other than AWS. Will this course be helpful?

Yes, it certainly helps. While there are certainly slight differences between each cloud, broadly speaking, almost all major cloud providers offer the same or very similar features . Ultimately, what matters is not which cloud you use, but whether it can implement and apply what you want . That's why I don't delve deeply into AWS itself unless it's necessary for my project.

Q. I've never experienced cloud computing before. Can I still take the course?

Honestly, if you've never had any prior experience, I think certain aspects might be difficult to understand. However, I feel that the nature of modern technologies is that even a brief experience can greatly help you develop and derive ideas in various directions , enabling you to implement and apply your various ideas. Furthermore, if you're pursuing a career in the cloud, I believe there's nothing faster than directly using the provided APIs to understand how the cloud works. Therefore, I've focused on simple content rather than complex ones, and I'll explain how to apply them to your projects based on these simple concepts.

Q. I don't work in cloud security, but can I still take the course?

Security isn't something only those with specific roles can perform. Even if you look at development frameworks, you'll see that they increasingly offer built-in security features. Even if you're not in a security role, being able to proactively consider security features during development and deployment will undoubtedly improve business productivity. I believe that adding security to your existing skills will contribute to a successful career. Even if you don't take a course, I recommend trying Steampipe and Streamlit.

Q. Why should I learn programming?

I'm sure you've all experienced the experience of not knowing what will change before deploying something, what's different from what you deployed, and not remembering what you actually deployed. This course will teach you how to deploy and manage your infrastructure with code, allowing you to track your deployments, history, and changes without having to fiddle around with code. This will significantly boost your productivity and confidence. Furthermore, as you gain a deeper understanding of the cloud , you'll learn about the APIs provided by the relevant vendors, making it easier to respond to security incidents .

How do you detect, address, and respond to vulnerabilities in the cloud? If solutions or open source solutions don't provide this functionality, how do you proceed? In fact, it can be quite simple, requiring just a few lines of code . How can you determine whether security group policies are actually being used in AWS? I encourage you to implement your own needs through programming and experience the dramatic productivity gains that result.
