Project by Netflix’s Cloud Infrastructure Security team ( Alex Bainbridge , Mike Grima , Nick Siow) Cloud security is a hard problem, but an even harder one is cloud security at scale. In 2020, we decided to reinvent how we handle cloud security findings by redefining how we write and respond to cloud detections.

Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors.

Our engineering teams tuned their services for performance after factoring in increased resource utilization due to tracing. The use of a cheaper EBS Elastic volume instead of an SSD instance store was an attractive option because AWS allows dynamic increase in EBS volume size without re-provisioning the EC2 node.
