Images in the cloud for a Fortune 50 Customer
Records exposed in data breaches in 2018
Golden images are standardized templates for Google Compute virtual machines, or the underlying template of Google Managed Instance Group (MIG). They be referred to as a clone image, master image or base image. Having golden images drives repeatable deployments, and decreases the time required to get a new VM up and running.
Traditional processes for creating Image templates are time consuming, prone to configuration drift, and no inventory of the installed packages is maintained. Scripting can help reduce the time dedicated, but are rigid, error prone, and don’t solve the other related issues.
Using a recipe-based solution, Bytes Bakery ensures that you deploy reliably with scale saving you over 10x the manual effort to do similar activities.
Golden Images ensures you get it right every time, and having an inventory of all installed packages, you can quickly pinpoint which images need to be re-baked once a package vulnerability is known.
Using our optional SSH lock-down feature, you can quickly know if anyone has entered an image and immediately replace it with the same, or revised golden image.
