The explosion of cloud computing and consumer IT means that your data, as well as data about you, can be virtually anywhere. This expanding concept of data mobility means that traditional security concepts, which focus in depth on infrastructure defense, no longer apply. Implementing security requirements associated with transitioning from an infrastructure-centric data security model to the data-centric cloud computing security model are challenging to every modern organization. As the cloud solution architect, however, your job focuses on how to address this issue without disrupting your end users' workflows. A data-centric security model ensures that the most important asset of the business—the data—is always protected.Having your data everywhere is also critical to the success of the cloud computing business model. A data-centric security solution...

Overview of this book
Cloud adoption is a core component of digital
transformation. Scaling the IT environment,
making it resilient, and reducing costs are
what organizations want. Architecting Cloud
Computing Solutions presents and explains
critical cloud solution design considerations
and technology decisions required to
be made for deploying the right cloud
service and deployment models,
based on your business and
technology service requirements.
This book starts with the fundamentals
of cloud computing and its architectural
concepts. It then walks you through
cloud service models (IaaS, PaaS, and
SaaS), deployment models (public,
private, community, and hybrid)
and implementation options
(enterprise, MSP, and CSP) to explain
and describe the key considerations and
challenges organizations face during cloud
migration. Later, this book delves into how to
leverage DevOps, Cloud-Native, and serverless
architectures in your cloud environment
and presents industry best practices for
scaling your cloud environment. Finally,
this book addresses in depth how to
manage essential cloud technology
service components, such as data storage,
security controls, and disaster recovery.
By the end of this book, you will have
mastered all the design considerations and
operational trades required to adopt cloud
services, no matter which cloud service
provider you choose.
