python - How do cloud services have access to your hosted script?

Question

Let's say you have some proprietary python + selenium script that needs to run daily. If you host them on AWS, Google cloud, Azure, etc. are they allowed to see your script ? What is the best practice to "hide" such script when hosted online ?

Any way to "obfuscate" the logic, such as converting python script to binary ?

Answer 1

Can the cloud vendors access your script/source code/program/data?

I am not including government/legal subpoenas in this answer.

They own the infrastructure. They govern access. They control security.

However, in the real world there are numerous firewalls in place with auditing, logging and governance. A cloud vendor employee would risk termination and/or prison time for bypassing these controls.

Secrets (or rumors) are never secret for long and the valuation of AWS, Google, etc. would vaporize if they violated customer trust.

Therefore the answer is yes, it is possible but extremely unlikely. Professionally, I trust the cloud vendors with the same respect I give my bank.
