Incident Response in AWS + Free PDF Playbook

🛡️ Incident Response in AWS + Free PDF Playbook

TL;DR: I wrote a complete, experience-based guide on how to structure an Incident Response (IR) process inside AWS. It includes a free downloadable playbook template you can adapt for your own organization.
🔍 What's in the guide?

This article walks through how to:

Set up a dedicated AWS IR account (or region)

Isolate and import compromised resources

Collect and store forensic evidence in S3

Automate parts of your response workflow using AWS-native services

Ensure evidence integrity and avoid contamination

It’s not theory — this is based on how we’re actually handling IR processes in real environments.
🧰 Bonus: Free PDF Playbook Template

I’ve included a downloadable playbook you can adapt to your own AWS setup.
It’s simple, focused, and designed to be actionable.

If you're building or refining your IR playbook, I hope this helps you build something practical and secure.

Would love to hear how others are handling IR in cloud-native environments.
