Serverless Code-Signing (EV) with KMS and Fargate

Sebastian — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 19:31:19 +0000

The AWS Key Management System can manage FIPS 140-2 Level 3 compliant private keys for Extended Validation (EV) Code Signing Certificates! Using AWS KMS and AWS Fargate for Amazon ECS, you can build a serverless Code Signing Service for Microsoft Windows binary files.

Previous methods for code-signing often rely on hardware security modules (Cloud HSM, e.g.) or dedicated on-premises solutions (USB dongle, e.g.). This article will explain all the relevant steps to build a Serverless Code Signing with Extended Validation (EV) on AWS.

S3 Replication with CDK, KMS, and StackSet

Sebastian — Sun, 06 Jun 2021 10:38:18 +0000

AWS has everything you need for secure and reliable data storage. With Amazon S3, you can easily build a low-cost and high-available solution.

Together with the available features for regional replication, you can easily have automatic multi-region backups for all data in S3.

This uses the AWS Cloud Development Kit to create an AWS CloudFormation template to create an AWS CloudFormation stack. The AWS CloudFormation stack creates an Amazon S3 bucket, an AWS Identity & Access Management role, an AWS Key Management Service key and an AWS CloudFormation StackSet. The AWS CloudFormation StackSet uses an AWS CloudFormation template to create an AWS CloudFormation stack in all AWS regions. The AWS CloudFormation stack in every region creates an Amazon S3 bucket and an AWS Key Management Service key. You're welcome. 🤯
