IaC Operations Playbook: Blueprint
RCCE students will learn Infrastructure as Code security including Terraform, CloudFormation, and Pulumi security scanning, policy-as-code enforcement, drift detection, and secure IaC development practices. RCCE students will learn to scan IaC templates for security misconfigurations before deployment, implement policy-as-code using tools like OPA, Sentinel, and Checkov, detect configuration drift between deployed infrastructure and IaC definitions, enforce security guardrails through CI/CD pipeline integration, manage secrets in IaC workflows securely, version control infrastructure configurations, and build secure-by-default IaC modules and templates. This operations-focused course delivers production-ready playbooks, checklists, and standard operating procedures. Starting from foundational concepts, RCCE students will learn to build repeatable day-to-day operational workflows that ensure consistency and quality. Students receive templates and frameworks they can customize and deploy immediately in their security operations, reducing time to operational effectiveness.
