Defining Admin Processes in the Twelve-Factor App
The final and twelfth factor focuses on admin processes and running admin/management tasks as one-off processes.
By this, 12.factor.net means that “one-off admin processes should be run in an identical environment as the regular long-running processes of the app. They run against a release, using the same codebase and config as any process run against that release. Admin code must ship with application code to avoid synchronization issues.”
Applying Security to Step 12
From a security standpoint, admin processes must be subject to the same security scrutiny as prescribed for factors I to XI. Incorporate one-off admin processes as part of product discussions and understand the security risks associated with one-off admin processes.
