Employment
Experience
- Cloud Security with Cloud Custodian
A project that monitors cloud cost, delivering alerts, and stopping resources based on pre-defined policies. The project is based on Cloud Custodian, Jenkins, and Terraform.
The custodian scripts are written by the security engineers and pushed to Git, which triggers an automatic Terraform pipeline in Jenkins.
This reduced the clients' costs by 50%.
As DevSecOps consultant, I was in charge of finding an open-source solution that fit client requests, developed a process for easy deployment of new security and cost policies, and monitoring the current status. I set up the Jenkins job and Terraform templates and pipelines to deploy new policies and update existing ones.
