Better GitHub AWS Secrets with OIDC |
https://dev.to/aws-builders/better-github-aws-secrets-with-oidc-1g62
|
Better GitHub AWS Secrets with OIDC The SetupOne topic came up over and over on my recent AWS Solutions Architect exam IAM Users vs IAM Roles They recommend IAM Users for real people and then those people depending on what they are doing can assume an appropriate IAM Role to provide the required level of access needed As an example suppose we have a separate AWS account for each of our two environments Dev and Production Further we have a separate AWS account for our users three accounts total We can set up the IAM Users in the User account to have only the ability to assume certain roles the roles that let them act upon one of the four deployment environments A developer logs into his account and then assumes an IAM role that lets her work within the Dev account Later she can switch roles and then work on the Production account These roles have independently controlled permissions she can do most anything in Dev less so in Production One user multiple roles For years I had been configuring my GitHub Actions AWS permissions with an IAM User dedicated to deploying my private repository actions note that I ve already deviated from recommended practice by creating an IAM User for a non person This user belonged to a group with permissions to handle whatever the deployment pipeline needed build test deploy validate I then added this user s AWS Access Key Secret to GitHub s Action Secrets for the repository This works but everyone is doing a lot of work to keep those long lived keys from being exposed There is a better way to do this OpenID Connect OpenID Connect or OIDC is a protocol built on top of OAuth In short it answers the question What is the identity of the person currently using this app It allows the authentication AuthN to reside with an identity provider GitHub and allows the resource owner AWS who has a trust relationship with the identity provider to provide access to resources for that user For AWS this means using short lived credentials from its Security Token Service STS that reduce the risk of leaking those credentials they are temporary and disposable Since late GitHub Actions has supported OpenID Connect OIDC for obtaining credentials Last month I updated my repositories to use OIDC for their interactions with AWS This post outlines the steps I took to get that set up I hope this helps you improve the security of your pipelines in GitHub Steps Identity ProviderThe first step is to set up GitHub Actions as a recognized identity provider in my AWS account This is also called an OIDC Trust relationship In AWS IAM create an Identity Provider with GitHub s provider URL and Audience I am using the open source action configure aws credentials link which means I want to use an Audience value of sts amazonaws com Be sure to click the Get Thumbprint button to save a copy of the x certificate used by GitHub into the AWS identity provider Master Role ConfigurationI want to set up access for my pipeline that is triggered off of my master branch Since this is always kicked off by a merge from a trusted author we can give it a broad set of permissions For Dependabot or other Pull Request builds you will want a narrower set of permissions see below For my master branch build I will create a role that the authenticated GitHub Action will assume The role is where I link authentication AuthN with authorization AuthZ where the OIDC provider does the AuthN while the IAM Policies attached to the role do the AuthZ To bring these two together I need two chunks of JSON one for the trust relationship and one for the policies The Trust Relationship is where we say When a particular provider with a particular audience for a particular subject asks for a role give him this one In our case the provider is the oidc provider the ARN we set up in step the audience is sts amazon aws and the subject is one of the repositories or organizations that you want to authorize This last part is critical This is where I lock down the request to GitHub Actions coming from only the repositories I want to use the role and skipping this step leaves you open to exploitation The next part of setting up this role is to provide it with permissions the AuthZ In this case I have an existing IAM Policy for my GitHub Deployer so I can attach it to this role It already has the permissions I need to access the services I routinely use to deploy serverless apps while denying access to services that I don t use but hackers love like ec iam CreateUser etc I ll go into this particular section on Deployer Policy Guidelines in a future article Update GitHub ActionsWe are almost there The only thing left to do is to add a GitHub Actions step to have the OIDC user assume the role and set temporary credentials As I mentioned above I use the open source Action script called configure aws credentials and we only need to pass it the region and the role we want it to assume like so This will set short term hour by default credentials in environment variables named AWS ACCESS KEY ID and AWS SECRET ACCESS KEY where my aws sdk will pick them up for testing deployment etc Dependabot Role ConfigurationWhy do we need a separate configuration for Dependabot or for outside contributor pull requests In short safety These PRs often include code you have yet to review Someone could write code to scrape steal all your secrets in AWS Secrets Manager spin up new IAM Users with Admin access or launch bitcoin mining ECs in a faraway region For all this and more we need tighter permissions for PRs One approach to tightening permissions on PRs is not to run any tests that need resources e g only unit tests This may be acceptable in your situation However if you want to drive your integration tests the ones that hit your DynamoDB or S or similar you ll need to give GitHub Actions permissions to do so Here we want to firmly stick with the principle of least privilege and tightly lock down the role s policies This means a separate IAM Role from the one we created for master In this role we use a similar trust relationship but we can narrow the subject condition to only allow a user to assume this role if he is acting upon a specific organization with a specific repository and it is a pull request like so Meanwhile we want to create an IAM Policy that reflects only the actions necessary to run your integration test suite In this repository s case it needs only to Put Delete and Create an item plus the ability to scan the table I can create a simple policy that allows only these four actions and only against this one particular table my test table for the repository Final ThoughtsIf you don t want to put your IAM Role ARN which includes your AWS account number in plain text although this is now not considered sensitive information you can add the Role ARN as a secret and pull it in like so SummaryAWS and GitHub have done the legwork to make this setup simple You can go from I should look into this to I m done in an hour Getting long lived secrets for non people IAM Users out of GitHub Actions is reasonably straightforward So much so that I would go so far as to say you ought to do it So do it Have fun ReferencesPingIdentity OpenID Connect OIDC GitHub Docs About Security Hardening with OpenID ConnectGitHub Docs Configuring OpenID Connect in AWSGitHub Actions Script configure aws

Want to learn fast? Then "reinvent the wheel" all the time. |
https://dev.to/valentinkuharic/want-to-learn-fast-then-reinvent-the-wheel-all-the-time-4nfg
|
Want to learn fast Then quot reinvent the wheel quot all the time The job of a software developer can be summarized into two words constantly evolving Anti static The nature of software demands it since modern programs apps and websites require us to use a plethora of abstraction layers and tools that we can t always know how they really work Each tool or layer we bring into our environment abstracts some part of the development process behind its API that we will then use This is a normal process with the fantastic benefit of enabling the developer to create complex stable and beautiful applications and tools that would otherwise require whole teams of experts just a couple of years ago to construct This phenomenon has a downside that we must be aware of especially in the modern web world So many processes and behaviors get abstracted that we begin to learn the APIs of those tools not the programming itself Most of the newcomers to the world of software development begin their journey in the web world The beginnings are rough and hard and the front end is a great starting point since it provides visual feedback and is the most rewarding part for most people After spending the humble beginning writing calculators managing arrays with loops or handling input and output to the console the ability to create websites so quickly feels ground breaking Naturally this progress leads a new developer to the UI libraries and frameworks of the modern day React Angular and such We tend to forget how amazing these tools are and just how much they speed development up A decent React developer can easily take a Figma design file and recreate the UI and interactivity without breaking a sweat They help us handle the UI updating state routing and more and they introduce their APIs to do so In a rush to get a job and start earning money this makes new fresh and inexperienced developers rush to these tools sparking the numerous What is the best frontend framework to learn debates This has the often forgotten consequence of new developers learning frameworks not programming itself They learn the APIs of their tools and how to use them get a job and then struggle to keep up with the more complex codebases Writing UIs and connecting them with backends usually works well but problems arise when the apps get complicated to the point where custom state management practices are required reducing the number of requests to the backend should be tackled or decoupling of the presentation layer from the other code needs to be done or even rewriting the UI from one library to another This inevitably brings challenges to the developer where a clear lack of competence gets shown and the developer struggles to keep up The pace of modern development doesn t help making it hard to between a full time job and other parts of life find enough time and energy to try to work on one s personal projects It is my own opinion that most fresh developers struggle with this myself included It s a balancing act all of us need to manage Software is not easy and between college and Udemy tutorials there is a lot of sweat failed projects and keystrokes needed to grasp the concepts and get stuff done This brings me to the title of this post reinvent the wheel I constantly hear the advice Stop going through tutorials think of an idea and start working on it which is the best way to learn in my opinion But there is an addition I d like to recommend start reinventing the wheel which will further deepen your understanding of your codebase Maybe you re using the RxJs library to aid with state management in your front end project It s quite a complex library and takes some brain power to grasp the concepts and start using it well Why not try and recreate its reactive primitives It s easier than it seems and the new found intuition and understanding will reshape your thinking about RxJs It s incredible how much this practice changes your perspective They don t say To fix it you first need to know how it works with no reason Maybe you use Express for writing backend apps in Node Have you ever wondered how the routes work What s happening underneath the pretty syntax With the power of understanding the hidden layers comes the benefit of making fewer bugs quicker debugging and even the ability to modify some behavior otherwise inaccessible If one has the time I strongly recommend to try and tackle an unknown variable in your toolset and by recreating just the most basic parts of it you may come out a stronger engineer on the other side |

The best ereaders for 2023 |
https://www.engadget.com/best-ereader-130013808.html?src=rss
|
The best ereaders for Anyone who stares at a screen all day might not want to do so when they unwind with a book But the convenience of getting a new read instantaneously and carrying a full bookcase in your pocket is pretty appealing Ereaders combine the best of paper and computers and they re capable of storing thousands of books at a time Amazon s Kindle ecosystem dominate this market but that doesn t mean there aren t worthy competitors Other companies particularly Kobo now make solid ebook readers such as the Clara and the Elipsa that might be better for your needs We tested out some of the best ereaders available and are sharing our top picks to help you find the best buy What to look for in an ereaderPlenty of apps including the Kindle app will let you download and read digital books on a phone or tablet But what makes ebook readers different is the screen nearly all of them use technology from a company called E Ink It manufactures electronic paper displays EPD composed of three sheets one containing millions of microcapsules filled with black and white ink particles sandwiched between transparent electrode layers When a charge is applied either the black or white particles shift to the top forming letters and the whitespace around them Because these displays are so different from standard LED panels you can expect most ereaders to do a number of things well They ll be easier to stare at for long periods of time and easier to read in direct sunlight Also since E Ink displays only require power to rearrange the ink these devices have much longer battery lives than standard tablets we re talking weeks not days The ereader market is not as saturated as say the smartphone market but there are still plenty of options out there and they do have small but important differences among them They tend to range from around to more than though usually the higher end options are read write E Ink tablets Beyond price you should consider physical properties like buttons lights storage and resolution as well as how the software lets you find and access books Reading featuresWith any ereader you ll navigate the OS via taps and swipes and some add physical page turn buttons Most with built in buttons have an auto rotating screen so you can press with your right or left hand As E Ink technology has advanced resolution has greatly improved even the budget Kindle ereader has a ppi display You can still find models with lower resolution but we don t recommend them Some ereaders have front LEDs that support light temperature adjustment That means you can switch to a warmer light after the sun goes down which will feel easier on the eyes If you re concerned about blue light you should go for a reader with that feature Other featuresThe capabilities of these pocket libraries have advanced considerably since the early days In addition to storing books some let you browse the web run apps and play music The screen s frame rate can t handle gaming but it s good enough to show you the Wikipedia entry for Constantinople while you read Cloud Cuckoo Land If you listen to audiobooks you may want an ereader capable of playing them Most of the models we tested have that ability with the notable exception of the Nook ereader we tried Keep in mind that audiobook files can take up more space than print files so you ll probably want a higher capacity device if you plan on doing a lot of listening Above all you should consider where and how you intend to find books to read Most ereaders make it easiest to shop through their own ebook store but all of them even Kindles will now let you download titles from other sources like libraries unaffiliated ebook sellers and free public domain sites Photo by Amy Skorheim EngadgetHow to get books for your ereaderKindle Nook and Kobo all have their own stores that you access directly from each brand s devices Prices are fairly competitive between the sellers too as I write this the current NYT bestselling fiction ebook is at Amazon Barnes amp Noble and the Kobo store The top nonfiction release American Prometheus also costs at all three Amazon offers Kindle Unlimited for per month and it includes four million titles from which you can pick your next read It includes audio and ebooks but you won t find many big new releases or older bestsellers Kobo has a subscription called Kobo Plus with about million titles it goes for per month for ebooks only for audiobooks only or for both Buying a book from a proprietary store instantly delivers it to your device provided you re connected to WiFi It also syncs your reading across devices and apps so you can pick up where you left off on your phone if you forgot your ereader at home It truly is the most convenient way to go but if you don t want to be locked into one brand s store or if you opt for an ereader without its own marketplace you do have options How to upload ePubs onto an ereaderStores like ebooks com and Google Play have millions of ebooks for sale as digital rights managed DRM ePub files which nearly all current ereaders including Kindles can display Free public domain classics from sites like Project Gutenberg are also packaged as ePubs but without the added DRM Books you get from these sources will look just like ones you bought from a proprietary store thanks to the flowable formatted nature of ePub files While these device agnostic ebook collections give you extra options for finding your next read they require a few additional steps to get the files onto your ereader To do so you ll typically need a computer running a free program called Adobe Digital Editions ADE After buying and downloading the ePub file open ADE and plug your ereader into your computer Your device should pop up in the left panel Drag and drop the ePub file from your downloads folder into the main panel in ADE The file will display as an image of the book cover Drag that image onto your device on the left panel If the file includes digital rights management which protects against unauthorized copying you ll need to authorize your ereader which requires using or creating a free Adobe ID Once you ve finished adding files to upload eject the reader from your computer to complete the transfer process Kindle and Boox devices use web based uploaders instead of the ADE method After downloading an ePub file drag and drop it into your browser with the Send to Kindle page open As long as you re signed into Amazon this wirelessly transfers the files to your associated device Boox allows for multiple methods I prefer BooxDrop which you can find in the App menu of your ereader It generates a device specific url which you can type in to access a file delivery portal that uploads directly to your library How to read library books on an ereaderYour local library card lets you borrow audio and ebooks through a program called Overdrive and its companion app Libby Overdrive recently announced that it will sunset its legacy app so Libby will be your one and only option if you access library books via Overdrive Kobo readers have built in access to Overdrive and that will not change despite the mobile app s shutdown Once you ve linked your library card the search function will include results for titles available from your local library a few taps will upload your selections to your device for the length of the loan I personally find it easiest to borrow the title I want through the Libby app on my phone After that the book pops up on my Kobo s home screen once the device syncs To read library books on a Kindle you can either go through the Libby app or the Overdrive section of your library s website Once you click Borrow you ll see the option to “Read now with Kindle which takes you to Amazon s site to sign in After that the book will be delivered to your device the next time it connects to WiFi For other ereaders you ll go through your library s Overdrive portal and download the ePub after clicking the Borrow button You can then use the ADE process we described above Devices that run external apps like the Boox Leaf allow you to read library books via the Libby app just as you would on a smartphone or tablet You can also use the Libby app to borrow audiobooks but you won t be able to access them through your ereader The exception is an ereader like the Boox Leaf that allows external apps I found it was easier to listen to an audiobook on my phone anyway regardless of whether I borrowed it through Libby or bought it from Kindle or Kobo Photo by Amy Skorheim EngadgetHow we testedWhen putting together any guide the first thing we do is spend hours researching the field We look at what s available what s new and what shoppers and professional reviewers have to say Then we narrow a list to the best candidates for hands on testing I ended up getting eight ereaders representing five different brands Amazon Kobo Barnes amp Noble Boox and PocketBook I bought borrowed and uploaded books for each device using the methods above Over the course of four weeks I evaluated each one in the areas of book access ease of reading extra features and overall value Here s everything we tested Amazon KindleAmazon Kindle PaperwhiteKobo Libra Kobo Clara EKobo NiaNOOK GlowLight Boox Leaf PocketBook EraBest overall Kobo Clara EDuring testing I d grab the Kobo Clara E when I was off the clock and reading for my own satisfaction That alone doesn t make it the best ereader for most people but the excellent design performance and interface does The Clara E is helpful from the moment you turn it on It walks you through setting up an account so you can buy books then asks about your recent favorite reads to improve its personalized recommendations It also tells you right away about its Overdrive integration that lets you check out ebooks from your library directly on the device It was refreshing to be pointed towards something free instead of just showing me more ways to spend money The borrowing integration is seamless you can find library books by searching for a title or browsing in the Overdrive tab in the Discover section where the Kobo store lives The Discover tab and the Kobo store are nicely organized with top sellers deals and recommendations based on your history Title pages are clean and uncluttered giving you access to synopsis reviews and preview samples You can even mark a title as read to deepen the algorithm s understanding of your preferences Unlike Amazon s Kindle store audiobooks and ebooks are in separate tabs I would have liked to have them together and would love it if Kobo did what Amazon does and offer a discount if you buy the audiobook and text version together The customization options on the Clara are just right there aren t so many that it s overwhelming but you can fine tune things enough to make the device yours Features like sleep screens gesture controls and headers and footers are all customizable You can also decide how your library is organized Navigation is intuitive and I rarely had trouble finding what I was looking for in the settings But what really sets the Clara E apart is the reading experience It s lightweight and has a textured back for a sure grip with one rear button controlling sleep wake and power The thin bezel makes the device compact enough to cradle in your hand like a smartphone but is thick enough for your thumb to rest comfortably in a pinch grip On top of that the front light is lovely This model gives you both brightness and temperature adjustment and the quality and subtlety of the glow creates a screen that s the closest to paper of any ereader I ve tried You can also adjust the brightness on the fly by sliding your thumb up or down the left edge of the screen such a simple feature but one I used repeatedly The text is crisp and the ghosting is minor Text size font style line spacing and margins are minutely adjustable and available with a tap as you read Of all the readers the Clara E was the most responsive to my touch Rarely did it mistake a tap for a swipe or vice versa and after I learned the controls I was always brought exactly to where I wanted to go My favorite feature was how fast it woke up Push the button and you immediately see the page you were last reading Some ereaders make you push a button swipe then wait as the screen flashes and refreshes before finally loading your book I like to fill spare moments by getting in a page or two so a speedy wake is key The page turns are also quick though in a side by side comparison the Kindle was just a touch faster For the Clara E is pricier than other readers with six inch screens The standard Kindle is the exact same size and shape and can be had for as little as if you re willing to put up with constantly being served ads on your lockscreen You ll pay for the luxury of an ad free model The Kindle also isn t waterproof and has no warm light option In contrast the Clara has no ads can handle an accidental dunk in the bathtub and won t kill your eyes with a ton of blue light For those reasons plus every little detail that made reading a joy I d recommend this Kobo ereader to most Of course if you re already invested in Amazon s ebook space you may want to go for the Paperwhite Signature which our editor Nathan Ingraham endorses Read our review of the Paperwhite Signature here Kobo Clara EScreen size Resolution dpiCapacity GBWaterproof rating IPX submergible to feet for minutes Warm light YesBest budget option KindleAmazon has dominated in the ereader space for so long that I was surprised when a Kindle device didn t win me over A Kobo may have taken the top spot here but nothing can beat the standard Kindle when it comes to price It s listed at but has gone on sale every few months since its debut in October sometimes for as low as With it you can access the best of what Amazon has to offer including many exclusive titles Kindle Exclusive is a catalog made up of a million titles including books by established authors as well as newer self published writers Kindle Unlimited offers the widest selection of any subscription based reading service out there and Audible Originals is made up of narrated titles and podcasts you can only hear through a Kindle device or Amazon owned app If you like to switch between audiobooks and ebooks Kindle is the way to go When you buy both iterations of a title you not only get a discount but the Whispersync feature lines up where you are in the e printed version with the narration too Say you listen for an hour and then want to read the synchronization lets you pick up on screen where you left off audibly Though we should point out that you can t listen and read simultaneously on the same device In tests the feature was fairly accurate getting me close enough on the page or in the audio to figure out my spot The standard Kindle doesn t feel particularly luxurious but it doesn t feel cheap either The shell has a velvety finish that doesn t collect fingerprints but I found myself wishing it had more texture for a better grip Navigating from a page to the menu isn t as speedy as Paperwhite or the Kobos we tried And it takes a few moments to wake from sleep after hitting the button and swiping Page turns are quick but the touchscreen gestures didn t always do what I wanted them to I d often find the page skipping forward when I thought I d tapped to go back There s no warm light which didn t bother me during the day but at night it felt like I was still staring at my computer Kindle s reading customization is great letting you dial in the font size and margins You can even save a set of settings as a “theme something not offered by other devices I created one with larger text and wider line spacing called “tired eyes Some people won t be bothered by the lock screen ads that come standard on every Kindle device unless you pay to remove them They re fairly innocuous mostly promoting Kindle book deals or specific titles it s not like you ll see promos for TVs or robotic pool cleaners Personally I like being able to set the sleep screen to the book cover of what I m currently reading but it s easy to get over that if all you want is a more convenient way to consume books at the lowest price Amazon KindleScreen size Resolution dpiCapacity GBWaterproof rating NoneWarm light NoBest reader with buttons Kobo Libra My first ereader was the Kindle with buttons everywhere including a full keyboard that was too many The Kobo Libra on the other hand has just two buttons which is perfect It has the same streamlined interface as the Clara E including an easy setup and intuitive navigation You basically get everything that s great about a Kobo device in a package that looks and feels premium One side of the reader has a wider bezel for the buttons and the screen rotates nearly instantly when you reorient the device meaning you could have the buttons on the left right or even bottom Plus if you want to lock the orientation when you ve finally decided on a position it s a simple two tap process The wider bezel is also slightly thicker and slopes up at the edge giving it a secure handhold And I haven t even mentioned the textured rubberized back All together the Libra is the most comfortable ereader I ve ever held At seven inches the screen is only a little bigger than the standard Kindle or Kobo Clara E but I noticed the difference Out of all the ereaders I tried reading the Libra most closely resembles reading a physical paperback especially after you balance the warm and cool light But a paperback won t adjust font size with a pinch or get brighter when you slide a finger along the margin like the Libra will The text and image clarity is nearly the best of the bunch only the PocketBook Era was crisper That device also has a beautiful build Unfortunately the software doesn t yet match the aesthetics The Libra s larger screen tempted me to use a few of Kobo s bonus features found in the More section of the main navigation The web browser is in beta and it displays simple websites easily if slowly The Pocket integration lets you save articles from the web and then read them from the comfort of your Kobo I used Martha Wells Murderbot Diaries as fodder for this testing and one entry is only available as a short story on Wired I saved the article via the web extension on my laptop then opened it up on the Kobo I could then read it like it was any other part of the series At the Libra is one of the more expensive ereaders But if you re a voracious reader looking for a luxe experience you won t do much better than this The Kindle Oasis also has page turn buttons a waterproof rating and seven inch screen but at for the ad supported GB size we think the Libra is a much better value Kobo Libra Screen size Resolution dpiCapacity GBWaterproof rating IPX submergible to feet for minutes Warm light YesBest Android tablet with an E Ink screen Boox Leaf UPDATE The Boox Leaf has been discontinued We re in the process of testing its replacement the Page In the meantime check out our E Ink tablet guide which review s the Boox Note Air Plus a read write Android tablet with an E Ink screen First a disclaimer I don t recommend Boox s Leaf for people who are not very tech savvy The tablet runs on a fork of Android and doesn t hold your hand getting set up The only books available through the onboard “store are free public domain classics However you can do far more with the Leaf than you can with any standard ereader After enabling Google Play I searched for and downloaded apps much like on a smartphone or tablet I even grabbed ereader apps from other manufacturers including Kobo and Kindle and installed Libby to read books I had borrowed from the library Through the built in Neo web browser I downloaded Project Gutenberg files reading them with Boox s Neo reader Via BooxDrop I wirelessly transferred a few ePubs I had on my computer In short if there s an ebook you want to read you can do so on the Leaf in some way The device itself looks similar to Kobo s Libra with a wider side bezel housing two page turn buttons Those buttons are programmable as are most touchscreen gestures In fact “customizable might be the best way to describe the Leaf In addition to a dizzying amount of options built into the operating system other Boox users have created APK files to tweak and improve your experience The Leaf has a soft adjustable front light with temperature control and a flush glare free screen The display is as speedy as can be expected with E Ink and the overall UI is simple enough for anyone familiar with Android to master The ever present nav ball is a small on screen button that lets you access a few quick functions and this is the only device we tried with a built in speaker yes it can play Spotify Tech that requires somewhat advanced knowledge often gathers devoted fans and Boox devices are no different Get one and you ll join a club that laughs at proprietary ebook hurdles You ll also have tons of possibilities to divert yourself with when you want to do something other than read Boox Leaf
