About the Book

Cyber Range Essentials is a practical guide that will walk you through the creation of a foundational cyber range built with modern DevOps tooling such as Ansible and Terraform. You will use practices such as:

  • Infrastructure-as-Code
  • Configuration-as-Code
  • Zero-Trust Networking

in order to build a remotely accessible, hybrid cloud-physical environment with:

  • AWS
  • Google Workspace
  • Cloudflare
  • Proxmox

Along the way, you'll learn about modern Auth N&Z protocols such as OIDC and SAML, and much more. With this lab, you'll be able to practice malware analysis, defensive cybersecurity, and red-teaming all in a safe (and cost-effective) environment!
