Iac Recommended Practices: RBAC and Security

This post continues our series of blog posts focused on IaC recommended practices. In earlier posts, we introduced Zephyr Archaeotech Emporium, the fictional company that sits at the center of this series, and discussed Zephyr’s primary use case for Pulumi: managing their online retail store. You read how Zephyr’s initial use of Pulumi changed to incorporate the use of short-lived per-developer stacks. Later, as Zephyr continued to grow, you saw how Zephyr restructured their Pulumi projects and stacks, and incorporated the use of Stack References. This post is a complement to the post on structuring Pulumi projects, concentrating on the use of role-based access control (RBAC) and security in Zephyr’s multi-project configuration.
