Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “You can find the latest CIS benchmarks for cloud providers such as Alibaba, AWS, and Azure, as well as various other technologies, at https://www.cisecurity.org/cis-benchmarks.”

A block of code is set as follows:

resource "aws_instance" "web_server" {
  count = var.instance_count
  instance_type = "t2.micro"
  ami = "ami-xxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
}
variable "instance_count" {
  default = 3
}

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For instance, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in bold. Here is an example: “More than 50% of organizations will have explicit strategies to adopt cloud-delivered Secure Access Service Edge (SASE), up from less than 5% in 2020.”
