Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

76. ST1 & SC1: Linux performance tuning
Increase maximum request size:
• Recommended for ST1, SC1 on a 4.2+ Linux kernel
• Memory allocated per device
• Default is 32, max for EC2 is 256
For example with GRUB’s /boot/grub/menu.lst configuration:
kernel /boot/vmlinuz-4.4.5-15.26.amzn1.x86_64 root=LABEL=/ console=ttyS0 xen_blkfront.max=256
Verify setting:
/sys/module/xen_blkfront/parameters/max
• OS boot command line configuration
77. ST1 & SC1: Linux performance tuning
Increase read-ahead buffer:
• Recommended for high-throughput read workloads
• Per device configuration
• Default is 128 KiB (256 sectors) for Amazon Linux
• Smaller or random I/O will degrade performance
For example:
$ sudo blockdev –setra 2048 /dev/xvdf
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/EBSPerformance.html
84. Best practice: RAID
Avoid RAID for redundancy
• EBS data is already replicated
• RAID5/6 loses 20 – 30% of usable I/O to parity
• RAID1 halves available EBS bandwidth

90. Best practice: taking snapshots from Linux
Quiesce I/O
1. Database: FLUSH and LOCK tables
2. Filesystem: sync and fsfreeze
3. EBS: snapshot all volumes
4. When CreateSnapshot API returns
success, it is safe to resume
91. Best practice: taking snapshots from Windows
1. sync equivalent available
2. Use Volume Shadow Copy Service-
(VSS) aware utilities for backups
3. EBS: backups on dedicated volume
for snapshots

101. Best practice: encryption
Create a new AWS KMS master key for EBS
• Define key rotation policy
• Enable AWS CloudTrail auditing
• Control who can use key
• Control who can administer key
