The Cloud Perimeter Guard

Ensure your AWS settings aren't leaving the door open to attackers. This guard prompt is best for Infrastructure Configs.

The Prompt
I am deploying this code to [Service Name]. Please check the configuration for 'Public' access vulnerabilities. If there are any, suggest a 'Least Privilege' alternative that only gives access to the specific resources my app needs. Ensure no sensitive environment variables are exposed in the frontend.

Problem it solves

Misconfigured cloud settings are the #1 cause of data breaches. This prompt helps you verify that your 'Public' access settings are as restrictive as possible while still allowing your app to function.

The Prompt

I am deploying this code to [Service Name]. Please check the configuration for 'Public' access vulnerabilities. If there are any, suggest a 'Least Privilege' alternative that only gives access to the specific resources my app needs. Ensure no sensitive environment variables are exposed in the frontend.

Customization instructions

Replace [Service Name] with AWS, Azure, Vercel, etc. Paste your config (e.g., amplify.yml or serverless.yml) below.

Advanced version

Add: "Check for compliance with the CIS AWS Foundations Benchmark and list any violations found."

Common mistakes

  • Leaving 'All Access' on: It's easier to debug when everyone can see it, but it's a security nightmare.
  • Hardcoding ENV variables: Never put your database password in the config file.

FAQs

Q: Can this replace a devops engineer? A: No, but it can find the obvious mistakes that even experts sometimes overlook in a hurry.
