Understanding the IAM:PassRole Permission

2023-08-24T02:44:43+00:00

Introduction Many AWS services often require the use of an IAM role to execute actions on your behalf. For example, when you create a Lambda function, you assign an execution role to it. AWS can generate one for you automatically, and then you define the permissions you want it to have after. Most of the time, that's the case. However, there are instances when you might choose to associate an existing IAM role. In practice, we often concentrate on which permissions a user is allowed to perform and which are off-limits. But what's often overlooked are the IAM roles a [...]

Different Ways of Passing Parameters Securely in CloudFormation

2023-04-27T12:27:15+00:00

Introduction When writing CloudFormation templates, it's a security best practice to avoid hardcoding sensitive info, like client secrets, API keys, or passwords. Sharing templates with hardcoded details by mistake can put your infrastructure and data at risk. In this article, we'll explore different secure methods to pass parameters in CloudFormation templates. Using the NoEcho Attribute To avoid hardcoding parameters in your template, you can define them during stack creation using the Parameters section. However, these values will still be visible in plaintext in the Console. To mask critical data, consider using the NoEcho attribute. The NoEcho attribute offers a simple [...]

Automate Confluence Backup Using AWS Step Functions

2023-04-27T04:47:53+00:00

Introduction In this article, I'm gonna show you how you can create an automated Confluence backup in Atlassian using an AWS serverless solution. The motivation behind this article stems from a recent task I was working on a couple of weeks ago. My goal was to run a scheduled backup of Confluence data and export it to Amazon S3. Since Confluence backups are deleted 14 days after creation, it’s a good idea to have additional copies in a different location in case something goes wrong with your Confluence instance or if you need to restore data from a point in [...]
