In this chapter, we went over security best practices for all the topics we have covered in all previous chapters, such as IAM, VPC, security of data, security of servers, and so on. Throughout this chapter, we have focused on and emphasized on security automation by utilizing AWS native services, tools, and features. AWS security best practices echo similar recommendations as well to create a software-defined, self-healing environment by using AWS-managed services instead of building something manually.
We also learnt about AWS CAF, that is used by hundreds of organizations to help them migrate to cloud in their cloud journey. We deep dived into the security perspective of this framework and learnt about four components of security perspective that will help us secure our workloads while migrating to the AWS cloud.
