Description

Knox serves as a secret management platform designed for the secure storage and rotation of sensitive information such as secrets, keys, and passwords utilized by various services. Within Pinterest, a multitude of keys and secrets are employed for diverse functions, including signing cookies, encrypting sensitive data, securing the network through TLS, accessing AWS machines, and facilitating communication with third-party services, among others. The risk of these keys being compromised posed significant challenges, as the process of rotation typically required a deployment and often necessitated changes to the codebase. Previously, keys and secrets at Pinterest were stored in Git repositories, leading to their replication across the company's infrastructure and presence on numerous employee laptops, which made tracking access and auditing who had permission to use these keys virtually impossible. To address these issues, Knox was developed with the intention of simplifying the process for developers to securely access and utilize confidential secrets, keys, and credentials. It also ensures the confidentiality of these sensitive elements while providing robust mechanisms for key rotation in the event of a security breach, thereby enhancing overall security practices. By implementing Knox, Pinterest aims to streamline secret management processes while fortifying its defenses against potential vulnerabilities.

Description

Infrastructure as Code has evolved to allow for the creation, deployment, and management of cloud infrastructure using well-known programming languages and tools. With a unified workflow across multiple cloud platforms, you can utilize the same language and tools no matter where your resources are hosted. Collaboration between developers and operators is streamlined, fostering a harmonious engineering environment. Continuous delivery becomes simple, as you can deploy from the command line or integrate with your preferred CI/CD systems, while also having the ability to review all changes prior to implementation. Navigating through complexity is made easier with enhanced visibility across all environments, allowing for more effective management. You can maintain security and audit trails by tracking who made changes, when alterations occurred, and the reasons behind them, all while enforcing deployment policies through your chosen identity provider. Secrets management is simplified with built-in encrypted configurations to keep sensitive information secure. Define your infrastructure in various familiar programming languages such as JavaScript, TypeScript, Python, Go, or any .NET language like C#, F#, and VB. Utilize your preferred development tools, IDEs, and testing frameworks to enhance productivity. Furthermore, you can codify and share best practices and policies, fostering a culture of reuse and efficiency within your team. This approach not only increases operational effectiveness but also empowers teams to innovate continuously.
