| configuration drift management tools: Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning, and Governance Charles T. Betz, 2011-11-02 Information technology supports efficient operations, enterprise integration, and seamless value delivery, yet itself is too often inefficient, un-integrated, and of unclear value. This completely rewritten version of the bestselling Architecture and Patterns for IT Service Management, Resource Planning and Governance retains the original (and still unique) approach: apply the discipline of enterprise architecture to the business of large scale IT management itself. Author Charles Betz applies his deep practitioner experience to a critical reading of ITIL 2011, COBIT version 4, the CMMI suite, the IT portfolio management literature, and the Agile/Lean IT convergence, and derives a value stream analysis, IT semantic model, and enabling systems architecture (covering current topics such as CMDB/CMS, Service Catalog, and IT Portfolio Management). Using the concept of design patterns, the book then presents dozens of visual models documenting challenging problems in integrating IT management, showing how process, data, and IT management systems must work together to enable IT and its business partners. The edition retains the fundamental discipline of traceable process, data, and system analysis that has made the first edition a favored desk reference for IT process analysts around the world. This best seller is a must read for anyone charged with enterprise architecture, IT planning, or IT governance and management. - Lean-oriented process analysis of IT management, carefully distinguished from an IT functional model - Field-tested conceptual information model with definitions and usage scenarios, mapped to both the process and system architectures - Integrated architecture for IT management systems - Synthesizes Enterprise Architecture, IT Service Management, and IT Portfolio Management in a practical way |

| configuration drift management tools: Zero Trust Networks Evan Gilman, Doug Barth, 2017-06-19 The perimeter defenses guarding your network perhaps are not as secure as you think. Hosts behind the firewall have no defenses of their own, so when a host in the trusted zone is breached, access to your data center is not far behind. That’s an all-too-familiar scenario today. With this practical book, you’ll learn the principles behind zero trust architecture, along with details necessary to implement it. The Zero Trust Model treats all hosts as if they’re internet-facing, and considers the entire network to be compromised and hostile. By taking this approach, you’ll focus on building strong authentication, authorization, and encryption throughout, while providing compartmentalized access and better operational agility. Understand how perimeter-based defenses have evolved to become the broken model we use today Explore two case studies of zero trust in production networks on the client side (Google) and on the server side (PagerDuty) Get example configuration for open source tools that you can use to build a zero trust network Learn how to migrate from a perimeter-based network to a zero trust network in production |

| configuration drift management tools: Python and Terraform Infrastructure as code, standards and practices , 2024-02-23 How this book is organized: A roadmap I organized this book into three sections with 13 chapters. Part 1 introduces IaC and how you, as an individual, write it. • Chapter 1 defines IaC and its benefits and principles. The chapter explains that the book has examples in Python, run by HashiCorp Terraform, and deployed to Google Cloud Platform (GCP). I also discuss the tools and use cases you’ll encounter in your IaC journey. • Chapter 2 dives into the principle of immutability and how you can migrate existing infrastructure resources to IaC. It also covers the practices of writing clean IaC. • Chapter 3 offers a few patterns for dividing and grouping infrastructure resources into modules. Each pattern includes an example and a list of use cases. • Chapter 4 covers how to manage dependencies among infrastructure resources and modules and decouple them with dependency injection and some common patterns. Part 2 describes how to write and collaborate on IaC as a team. • Chapter 5 organizes the practices and considerations for expressing IaC in different repository structures and sharing it across your team. • Chapter 6 provides an infrastructure testing strategy. It describes each type of test and how to write them for IaC. • Chapter 7 applies continuous delivery to IaC. It covers a high-level view of branching models and how your team can use them to change infrastructure. • Chapter 8 provides techniques to build secure and compliant IaC, including testing and tagging. Part 3 covers how to manage IaC across your company. • Chapter 9 applies immutability to infrastructure changes, including an example for blue-green deployments. • Chapter 10 refactors a large body of IaC to improve its maintainability and mitigate the blast radius of failed changes to one codebase. • Chapter 11 describes reverting IaC and rolling forward changes to the system. • Chapter 12 addresses the use of IaC to manage cloud computing costs. It includes an example for cost estimation of IaC. • Chapter 13 completes the book with practices to manage and update IaC tools. You will find that many concepts build on each other throughout the book, and it may help to read the chapters in order if you have not previously practiced IaC. Otherwise, you can choose the sections that best apply to the challenges you face in your IaC practice. |
