Zero-Trust Cloud Infrastructure & Automated DevSecOps at Scale

In modern enterprise cloud architecture, perimeter defense is dead. Zero-Trust Architecture (ZTA) mandates that every API request, microservice communication, and database query must be authenticated, authorized, and encrypted.

Core Architectural Layers

1. Short-Lived Ephemeral Credentials: Vault identity injection ensuring zero hardcoded secrets.
2. eBPF Service Mesh Security: Cilium kernel-level encryption and real-time network policy audit.
3. Infrastructure as Code (IaC) Policy Enforcer: Open Policy Agent (OPA) validation during CI/CD execution.

# Terraform OPA Compliance Guard Example
resource "aws_kms_key" "enterprise_vault" {
  description             = "Discovery Tech Zero-Trust KMS Encryption Key"
  deletion_window_in_days = 30
  enable_key_rotation     = true
  tags = {
    Compliance = "SOC2-HIPAA-ISO27001"
    Environment = "Production"
  }
}
