Ansible code often gets executed with a very high level of access to ensure it can perform all the necessary actions to complete its task. This high level of access creates the risk of attacks leveraging the automation code as an attack vector. It is possible to use cryptographic signatures to prevent the risk of executing code that has not been properly vetted. In this talk, we will see how it is possible to integrate cryptographical assurances into Ansible, and we will delve into some implementation decisions and suggestions to ensure that the result completely satisfies the requirements.
