A Proven Approach on Automated Security Architectural Pattern Validation
summary
Claims an automated validation layer that turns reference architectures and blueprints into machine-checkable manifests and scripts and catches systemic root causes that scanners miss. Implementation uses Python and Azure Functions, manifest checks against Kubernetes Calico and Terraform outputs, network path tests and API pulls, and feeds results into alerts and a validation database. Pilot covers 150–200+ Kubernetes deployments and finds and fixes the terraform churn causing repeated findings, yielding 70–80% fewer repetitive issues via automated manifest checks.
