Automate Ubuntu Server Hardening with a Single Script
A developer created a script that automates SSH hardening, firewall configuration, and HTTPS setup for Ubuntu cloud servers. The script disables root login, password auth, and moves SSH off port 22, then configures UFW and Let's Encrypt. It is idempotent, meaning it can be safely rerun without causing errors or lockouts.

Useful for solo devs, but enterprise teams should use configuration management tools like Ansible or Terraform for consistency at scale.
