No touch secrets with Doppler - Part 2

What's this blog post about?

The text discusses a comprehensive approach to deploying cloud infrastructure using AWS, Github Actions, Docker, and Terraform. It highlights the use of a Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CICD) process built around a custom Docker image that integrates additional tools such as Doppler CLI and Terraform CLI. The implementation of Terraform workspaces ensures account parity across various environments, while Service Tokens from Doppler establish isolated access control to configurations. A Service Account Token (SAT) Terraform pipeline flow is established for change management, ensuring a comprehensive audit trail. The text also introduces the new "dynamic credential" capability from Doppler, which offers ephemeral credentials that automatically rotate based on configurable time intervals, aligning with security best practices and zero trust principles. Overall, this approach ensures operational efficiency and security while maintaining compliance requirements.
