Decentralized firewall management

This sample shows how a decentralized firewall management can be organized using the firewall-yaml module.

This approach is a good fit when Shared VPCs are used across multiple application/infrastructure teams. A central repository keeps environment/team specific folders with firewall definitions in yaml format.

In the current example multiple teams can define their VPC Firewall Rules for dev and prod environments using team specific subfolders. Rules defined in the common folder are applied to both dev and prod environments.

NOTE: Common rules are meant to be used for situations where hierarchical rules do not map precisely to requirements (e.g. SA, etc.)

This is the high level diagram:

The rules can be validated either using an automated process or a manual process (or a combination of the two). There is an example of a YAML-based validator using Yamale in the validator/ subdirectory, which can be integrated as part of a CI/CD pipeline.
