Enterprise Cloud Deployment

Navigating Enterprise Environments

Unlike deploying to a startup's clean AWS account, deploying enterprise software involves navigating complex security requirements, VPNs, proxies, and air-gapped environments.

Key Deployment Technologies

As an FDE, you must be a master of DevOps tools to deploy software anywhere.

1. Docker: Containerizing applications to ensure they run identically on a developer's laptop and an enterprise's bare-metal server.
2. Kubernetes (K8s): Orchestrating those containers. You must know how to write Helm charts to deploy complex microservices architectures.
3. Terraform: Infrastructure as Code (IaC) to quickly spin up required cloud resources (VPCs, RDS instances, S3 buckets) on AWS, Azure, or GCP.

Security and Compliance

You will frequently interact with Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs). You must understand:

• SOC 2 and HIPAA compliance
• Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
• Encryption at rest and in transit (TLS/SSL)
