Hybrid Cloud Security Patterns

By: Sreekanth Iyer

Overview of this book

Security is a primary concern for enterprises going through digital transformation and accelerating their journey to multi-cloud environments. This book recommends a simple pattern-based approach to architecting, designing and implementing security for workloads deployed on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Google Cloud, and IBM Cloud. The book discusses enterprise modernization trends and related security opportunities and challenges. You’ll understand how to implement identity and access management for your cloud resources and applications. Later chapters discuss patterns to protect cloud infrastructure (compute, storage and network) and provide protection for data at rest, in transit and in use. You’ll also learn how to shift left and include security in the early stages of application development to adopt DevSecOps. The book also deep dives into threat monitoring, configuration and vulnerability management, and automated incident response. Finally, you’ll discover patterns to implement security posture management backed with intelligence and automated protection to stay ahead of threats. By the end of this book, you’ll have learned all the hybrid cloud security patterns and be able to use them to create zero trust architecture that provides continuous security and compliance for your cloud workloads.

Secure network connectivity

Let’s get started!

Problem

How to ensure secure connectivity to multi-cloud and on-premises resources.

Context

In the current scenario, applications need to securely connect to resources spread across on-premises data centers and the cloud. The connectivity to the cloud may be established through a front channel such as through an internet service provider or through a back channel or direct link between the cloud provider and the customer’s on-premises data center. Connectivity is also needed between VPCs for applications or business processes to be completed. The VPCs could be within the same account or different accounts of a customer. Certain use cases require connectivity between VPCs from the customer account to VPCs in the partner accounts as well. Some use cases require connectivity to the services or resources over a private network without having the need to go through the public internet. In a hybrid scenario, we also...
