Projects

Some of my most recent work is in the documentation for VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds, a cloud security posture management SaaS solution offered by VMware. I have been the sole technical writer supporting this product since 2020, where my topics I've authored include (but are not limited to) onboarding with multiple cloud providers, investigating security violations, and managing cloud resources through back-end API calls.

Cloud provider onboarding in VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds

These topics describe how to onboard cloud resources (such as AWS account, Azure subscription, or GCP project) into Automation for Secure Clouds and which actions to take in both the respective cloud portal and the Secure Clouds console. Directions differ significantly depending on which cloud provider you onboard from, necessitating distinct topics for each supported public cloud.

Review and investigate security violations in VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds

This topic covers how to review security violations for cloud resources once monitored by Automation for Secure Clouds and the different methods by which one may resolve them.

Run cloud account queries with the VMware Aria Automation for Secure Clouds API

I created this API reference documentation from scratch for the Automation for Secure Clouds API. The linked topic describes how to run API calls that query Secure Clouds for any onboarded cloud resources and includes JSON call structure, field descriptions, and response examples.
