I’ve been working with CloudFormation in some form for about five years now. Two years ago at Time Out, I helped write an in-house tool that performed some basic template linting. One year ago at Genus AI, I started using the AWS Labs tool cfn-lint to validate my templates before deployment. It’s really neat, covers a lot more than our in-house tool did, and has saved me from a number of mistakes.
On Saturday, I posted my guide on Scoring A+ for Security Headers in Django, following my talk at DjangoCon Europe. I thought it would be a good idea to step up and make my own site score A+, rather than a dismal F! My site isn’t built in Django, but as a Jekyll static site. It’s hosted on AWS S3 and CloudFront.
