ConfigHub raises $4M to bring order to chaotic mass of configuration files

ConfigHub Inc. has launched with $4 million in pre-seed funding from Crane Venture Partners, Pear VC, and Encoded Ventures. They aim to modernize software operations by reinventing the way configuration data is created and managed.
Configuration data is crucial for software systems but often complex and unwieldy, leading to major disruptions like the one caused by CrowdStrike last year. ConfigHub wants to streamline and unify configuration management with modern development workflows and compliance.
The company plans to simplify the process of accessing and updating configuration files by creating a centralized database that visualizes how these files support the underlying software.
ConfigHub will initially focus on Kubernetes developer tools like Argo, Flux, Helm, and Terraform, along with the open-source fork OpenTofu.
The goal is to address the challenges posed by the evolving software landscape, where interconnected modules and APIs require efficient management of configuration data.
ConfigHub believes that the outdated tools and workflows for managing configuration data have not kept pace with the software's evolution, leading to a 'configuration crisis' in modern software operations.
The company is already working with enterprise partners and is set to launch its product as a software-as-a-service platform in the coming months.
ConfigHub's founders stress the importance of modernizing configuration operations to avoid widespread system failures due to misconfigurations, as experienced by companies like GitHub.
The approach of unifying configuration management with modern workflows is seen as a proactive solution to the complexity and bottlenecks faced by enterprises in managing configuration files.
The industry response to ConfigHub's initiative has been positive, with stakeholders recognizing the urgent need to address the challenges posed by the growing complexity of configuration data in modern software operations.

Firewall support for AWS Amplify hosted sites

AWS has announced the general availability of AWS WAF integration with AWS Amplify Hosting.
This integration allows direct attachment of a web application firewall to AWS Amplify apps with one-click integration or using infrastructure as code.
Users can access AWS WAF capabilities including managed rules and custom rule creation for protection against web exploits like SQL injection and XSS.
Defense-in-depth security strategies can be implemented with AWS WAF rate-based rules and geo-blocking for DDoS protection and restricting access based on countries.
Setting up AWS WAF protection for Amplify apps is simplified through the Amplify console, offering categories of protection like Amplify-recommended firewall protection and IP address and country protection.
Protections enabled through the console create web ACLs in the AWS account, but fine-grained rulesets can be created using the AWS WAF console rule builder.
Monitoring of attacks can be done through AWS WAF request inspection capabilities, allowing fine-tuning of security settings over time.
Firewall support is available in all AWS Regions where Amplify Hosting operates and follows standard AWS WAF pricing model with an additional $15/month charge when attaching a web application firewall.
The new capability enhances security for all Amplify Hosting customers, enabling simplified architecture and streamlined security management.
Further details can be found in the AWS WAF integration documentation for Amplify or within the Amplify console.
