Prior to working at this company, I earned four AWS certifications and participated in several projects that required AWS knowledge, but nothing compared to what I achieved during my time here.

You might be wondering how I ended up collaborating on architecture and infrastructure, given that I was originally hired as a backend engineer. The truth is, I was extremely lucky. There were managerial changes within the company, and a few months after I started, a new CTO joined the team. We were also a pretty small team and always needed an extra pair of hands.

The least privilege is a term coined in IT Security that stablishs a user or an entity should only have access to specific resources or data to complete with their tasks. This means instead of creating several super users or only one super user and sharing the credentials, we should be focus en creating granular access for every user or application.

[!note] The Principle of Least Privilege is consider a fundamental best practice.
