Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Gold images gleaming, pre-hardened and clean
STIGs baked in the kernel, deployment machine
Templates cascade through the network tonight
Baseline perfection, everything's right

[Chorus]
Four pillars standing, hardening schemes
Gold, IaC, Group Policy dreams
Config management keeps the watch
STIG compliance, none shall botch

[Verse 2]
Infrastructure as Code writes the rules in stone
Ansible playbooks, Chef recipes grown
Puppet manifests pull the strings tight
Terraform modules spawn secure sight

[Chorus]
Four pillars standing, hardening schemes
Gold, IaC, Group Policy dreams
Config management keeps the watch
STIG compliance, none shall botch

[Verse 3]
Group Policy Objects map requirements clear
Domain-wide enforcement, controls appear
Registry entries locked in formation
Windows security across the nation

[Bridge]
SCCM and Satellite patrol the grounds
Ansible Tower makes compliant sounds
Centralized shepherds guard the flock
Drift detection around the clock

[Verse 4]
Configuration drift gets caught and cured
Ongoing compliance, victory assured
Four approaches working hand in hand
Hardened systems throughout the land

[Chorus]
Four pillars standing, hardening schemes
Gold, IaC, Group Policy dreams
Config management keeps the watch
STIG compliance, none shall botch

[Outro]
From golden images to living code
Hardening mastery, security mode
