Blueprints for creating cloud resources with best practices embedded
This blueprint creates an AWS CloudWatch Log Group with best practices in mind, such as setting a default retention period of 14 days to prevent unlimited storage costs and optionally enabling encryption using a KMS key for enhanced security. It encourages the use of tags for better resource identification and management. The blueprint is organized to assist users, including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts, in configuring essential settings easily.
This blueprint creates an AWS Security Group adhering to best practices by denying all inbound traffic unless specified, thereby enhancing security. It allows all outbound traffic by default, following AWS's standard behavior, but gives users the flexibility to define specific egress rules if needed. The blueprint encourages the use of descriptive tagging for better resource management and organizes variables into groups to simplify configuration for users who may not be cloud infrastructure experts.
This blueprint creates an AWS Auto Scaling Group with best practices in mind, such as configuring minimum and maximum instance counts for efficient scaling, using private subnets for enhanced security, setting health checks and termination policies with sensible defaults, and encouraging the use of tags for resource identification and management. The blueprint is organized into groups to assist users—including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts—in configuring essential and advanced settings easily.
This blueprint creates an Azure SQL Database with best practices in mind, such as defaulting to the 'Basic' edition and service objective for cost-effectiveness, setting a standard collation, and encouraging the use of tags for better resource identification and management. It allows customization of advanced settings like collation and maximum size, organizing variables into logical groups to assist users—including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts—in configuring essential and advanced settings easily.
This blueprint creates a Google Cloud Service Account adhering to best practices by requiring a valid account_id
that meets naming conventions and encouraging the use of meaningful display_name
and description
for better resource management. It allows association with a specific project and offers advanced options like disabling the service account when necessary.
This blueprint creates an AWS VPC with best practices in mind, such as enabling DNS support and hostnames by default to facilitate resource naming and resolution within the VPC. It sets a default CIDR block of "10.0.0.0/16" but allows customization to suit different network requirements. The blueprint encourages the use of tagging for better resource management and organizes variables into groups to assist users who may not be cloud infrastructure experts.
This blueprint creates an AWS S3 bucket with best practices in mind, such as blocking public access by default, enabling server-side encryption and versioning to protect data integrity and security. It provides options for access logging and tagging for better resource management. The blueprint is organized to guide users through essential settings while offering flexibility for advanced configurations.
This blueprint creates a Google Compute Engine instance with best practices in mind, such as not assigning a public IP address by default to enhance security. It uses a default machine type of e2-medium and a Debian 10 image for the boot disk, promoting cost-effectiveness and stability. The blueprint encourages the use of labels for better resource management and organizes variables into logical groups to assist users—including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts—in configuring essential settings easily.
This blueprint creates an AWS IAM Role with best practices in mind, such as requiring an assume role policy for security and encouraging the use of tags for resource identification and management. It provides advanced options like setting a permissions boundary for better security control. The blueprint is organized into groups to assist users, including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts, in configuring essential and advanced settings easily.
This blueprint creates an Azure Network Security Group (NSG) with best practices in mind, encouraging the definition of specific security rules to control network traffic and enhance security. It uses secure defaults while allowing customization to suit different requirements. The blueprint also promotes the use of tags for better resource identification and management, organizing variables into intuitive groups to assist users—including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts—in configuring essential and advanced settings easily.
This blueprint creates an AWS IAM Policy by requiring users to provide a valid JSON policy document, adhering to best practices in security and compliance. It encourages the use of tags for resource identification and management, organizing variables into groups to assist users—including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts—in configuring essential settings easily.
This blueprint creates an Azure Resource Group with best practices in mind, such as providing a default location of "eastus" while allowing customization, and encouraging the use of tags for better resource identification and management. It organizes variables into intuitive groups to assist users—including those who may not be cloud infrastructure experts—in configuring essential settings easily.
This blueprint creates an AWS Lambda function following best practices, such as setting a default runtime environment (Python 3.8) and handler, enabling secure configuration by requiring an IAM role, and encouraging the use of tags for resource identification and management. It allows customization of memory size and timeout for performance tuning and supports the inclusion of environment variables to provide flexibility for various use cases.
This blueprint creates an AWS Subnet with best practices in mind, such as disabling public IP assignment by default to enhance security. It allows customization of CIDR blocks and availability zones to suit different network requirements. The blueprint encourages the use of tagging for better resource management and organizes variables into groups to assist users who may not be cloud infrastructure experts.
This blueprint creates an AWS SNS Topic with best practices in mind, such as encouraging the use of KMS encryption to secure messages at rest. It allows users to specify custom policies for fine-grained access control and delivery settings. Tags are included to promote better resource identification and management. The blueprint organizes variables into intuitive groups to assist users—including those not well-versed in cloud infrastructure—in configuring essential and advanced settings easily.
