🔒 Security Posture

​

Implemented (TASKSET 11)

• ✅ Encryption at rest (KMS for all storage)
• ✅ Encryption in transit (TLS configuration)
• ✅ Audit logging (CloudTrail for AWS APIs)
• ✅ Secrets management (Secrets Manager + KMS)
• ✅ IAM policies (least-privilege principle)
• ✅ Resource tagging (cost allocation)

​

In Progress (TASKSET 12)

• 🚀 Network policies (Kubernetes micro-segmentation)
• 🚀 WAF (API protection)
• 🚀 RBAC (Kubernetes access control)
• 🚀 Pod security (container security)
• 🚀 Compliance scanning (CIS benchmarks)
• 🚀 Audit logging (comprehensive trails)

​

📈 Deployment Pipeline

1. Quality checks (code analysis, security scanning)
2. Infrastructure validation (Terraform plan)
3. Container builds (Docker images)
4. Multi-environment planning
5. Dev deployment (automatic)
6. Staging deployment (manual approval)
7. Prod deployment (manual approval, blue-green)
8. Rollback (automatic on failure)

​

👥 Team Readiness

​

What Teams Can Do Now

• ✅ Deploy infrastructure to AWS (ready to terraform apply)
• ✅ Deploy applications to EKS (cluster ready)
• ✅ Monitor systems (Grafana dashboards ready)
• ✅ Trace requests (Jaeger configured)
• ✅ Store secrets (Secrets Manager configured)
• ✅ Deploy with CI/CD (8-stage pipeline ready)

​

What Teams Will Get with TASKSET 12

• 🚀 Network segmentation (pod-to-pod security)
• 🚀 API protection (WAF rules)
• 🚀 Access control (RBAC policies)
• 🚀 Compliance status (CIS benchmarks)
• 🚀 Encryption everywhere (TLS/mTLS)
• 🚀 Audit trails (all actions logged)

🎓 How to Get Started

​

1. Understand What’s Built

# Read the architecture document
cat infrastructure/docs/ARCHITECTURE.md

# Review Terraform modules
ls -la infrastructure/terraform/modules/

​

2. Set Up Your Environment

# Configure AWS credentials
aws configure

# Initialize Terraform
cd infrastructure/terraform
terraform init

# Set up kubectl
aws eks update-kubeconfig --name sparki-prod --region us-east-1

​

3. Deploy

# Development (automatic in CI/CD)
git push origin feature-branch

# Staging (manual approval)
git push origin staging

# Production (manual approval, blue-green)
git push origin main

​

4. Monitor

# Access Grafana dashboards
kubectl port-forward -n sparki-observability svc/grafana 3000:80
# Visit http://localhost:3000 (admin/password)
