Prior to work on this company I was able to get four AWS certifications and also participating in a few projects that required knowledge in AWS, but nothing compared with what I was able to achieve during this time.

You might be thinking how I end up collaborating with architecture and infrastructure if I was originally hired to fill a position as a backend engineer, the truth is that I was extremely lucky, there were some managerial changes in the company and after a few months of starting my journey here, a new CTO was introduced to the team, we also were 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.
