Secure Cloud & VPS Infrastructure Setup
Launching cloud instances without immediate hardening exposes them to automated attack bots within minutes. Khodshima Sumn Assist LTD provisions, sanitizes, and hardens AWS EC2, Hetzner,DigitalOcean, and Bare-Metal nodes with built-in zero-downtime guarantees.
Four Foundation Pillars of Cloud Security
Built from the hardware and metadata layer up to the operating system and disaster recovery:
Cloud Metadata Shield (IMDSv2)
Prevents Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) exploits from querying cloud provider metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254) to steal IAM role credentials and cloud API keys.
- ✓Enforce IMDSv2 token authentication with hop-limit restrictions
- ✓NFTables drop rules blocking web pools from querying link-local IPs
- ✓Least-privilege cloud IAM role attachment with restricted permissions
- ✓Automated audit alerts on metadata querying attempts
Dual-Layer Edge & OS Firewall Sync
Synchronizes external cloud datacenter firewalls (AWS Security Groups, Hetzner Cloud Firewall, DO Firewalls) with internal operating system NFTables packet filtering.
- ✓Stateless edge dropping before packets hit VPS virtual network interface
- ✓Stateful internal NFTables connection tracking for authorized traffic
- ✓Private VPC subnet peering between application nodes and database clusters
- ✓Anti-spoofing reverse path filtering enabled on all cloud interfaces
OS Image Sanitization & Entropy
Standard vendor cloud images often contain outdated packages, dormant SSH hostkeys, and telemetry daemons. We sanitize the OS baseline before production launch.
- ✓Purging vendor cloud-init telemetry and unnecessary background daemons
- ✓Regenerating machine-id and cryptographic Ed25519 host SSH keys
- ✓High-entropy random number generator configuration (haveged/systemd)
- ✓Mounting /tmp and /dev/shm with strict noexec execution flags
Automated Encrypted Offsite Disaster Recovery
Automated nightly backups encrypted with GPG / AES-256 before leaving the server and transmitted to external S3-compatible storage with automated retention policies.
- ✓End-to-end client-side GPG encryption before data leaves memory
- ✓Automated nightly database dumps and configuration state archives
- ✓S3 bucket lifecycle rules with automated 30-day retention rotations
- ✓Documented one-command disaster recovery restore playbook
Interactive Cloud Provisioning Blueprint
Explore the exact automation commands applied across AWS, Hetzner, DigitalOcean, and Bare-Metal:
AWS EC2 & Lightsail Security Profile
aws_ec2_security_profile.shEnforces HttpTokens=required and HttpPutResponseHopLimit=1 on the EC2 instance, neutralizing SSRF vulnerabilities attempting to steal AWS IAM credentials.
aws ec2 modify-instance-metadata-options --http-tokens required --http-put-response-hop-limit 1Locks AWS Security Group ingress strictly to Cloudflare/Reverse Proxy IPs and synchronizes with operating system stateful connection tables.
aws ec2 authorize-security-group-ingress --protocol tcp --port 2244 --cidr YOUR_MGMT_IP/32Ensures root and data EBS volumes utilize KMS AES-256 encryption with automated snapshot lifecycle management.
