Enabling SSH access with an isolated application user on the server enhances both security and operational control. By creating a dedicated, restricted user account for application-related tasks, you minimize the risk of unauthorized access and ensure that only the necessary processes can interact with the server. This setup provides an isolated environment, reducing the potential impact of any security breaches while offering greater flexibility for managing your application’s server resources.
