Securing and Scaling AWS with Terraform, Vault, and Veeam: A Practical Guide
summary
Claims concrete setup: Terraform + Vault + Veeam used to provision AWS RDS with secrets injected from Vault and automated backups, with a live demo that boots Vault, writes a secret, runs terraform init and plan successfully but hits access denied on terraform apply. Shows Vault issuing short‑lived credentials, Terraform creating RDS with injected password, and Veeam configured for daily backups at 05:00 UTC with 14‑day retention. Mentions IAM least‑privilege, storing Terraform state in S3/DynamoDB, and testing restores not just backups.
