Simplifying Config management - Part 2

In the first part of our series, we discussed the inefficiencies of traditional config management tools and introduced Facets as a simpler solution for managing service endpoints.

In this second part, we will focus on another critical aspect of configuration management - credential management.

Developers often face challenges when it comes to tracking usernames, passwords, and access to various services and cloud resources. The current process, which involves requesting credentials from DevOps and storing them in a secret store, or even worse, sharing them directly with developers, is both time-consuming and a security risk.

{
  "spec": {
    "env": {
      "RDS_READER_USERNAME": "${mysql.master.out.interfaces.reader.username}",
      "RDS_READER_PASSWORD": "${mysql.master.out.interfaces.reader.password}"
    }
  },
  "advanced": {
    "aws": {
      "iam": {
        "logs-bucket-access": {
          "arn": "${s3.logs-bucket.iam_policies.READ_ONLY}"
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Facets solves this problem by automating the entire process of credential management with a by-design approach. Our approach, which you can read more about in our blog, is designed to ensure that the creation, storage, and rotation of credentials are done consistently and securely. This allows developers to access the services they need without worrying about managing different credentials for different environments.

By referring to services by their logical or abstract names in the blueprint, Facets eliminates manual effort and reduces the risk of security breaches. All credentials are stored securely, making it easier for developers to access the services they need.

In summary, Facets provides a comprehensive solution to the challenges of configuration management, including credential management.
