Enhancing security, Python in serverless, and infrastructure as code (IaC)
Python demonstrates that it is both a powerful tool and a potential risk. Its versatility allows for strong defenses, but it also provides exploiters with a two-edged sword. When paired with serverless architectures and infrastructure as code (IaC), Python’s capabilities can be exploited for reinforcement or exploitation. Let’s look at the complexities of utilizing Python in these domains and how it might increase security or act as a gateway for harmful behavior.
Introducing serverless computing
Serverless computing, often misunderstood as no servers, actually refers to the abstraction of server management and infrastructure concerns from developers. It’s a cloud computing model where cloud providers dynamically manage the allocation of machine resources. Functions or applications run in response to events and are charged based on actual usage rather than provisioned capacity.
