Description: Resource auditing is the process of reviewing and verifying the configurations and usage of resources in an infrastructure as code environment. This process involves a thorough analysis of provisioned resources, ensuring they align with the organization’s security policies, compliance, and operational efficiency. Resource auditing allows for the identification of incorrect configurations, unused or poorly managed resources, and potential vulnerabilities that could compromise the integrity and availability of systems. Additionally, it facilitates cost optimization by identifying unnecessary or underutilized resources. Auditing can be performed using tools that analyze configuration files and the current state of the infrastructure, providing detailed reports on compliance with best practices and recommendations for improving resource management. This process is essential for maintaining a secure and efficient cloud environment and has become increasingly relevant as organizations adopt DevOps practices and deploy complex infrastructures in the cloud.
