Overview of this book

Securing cloud resources is no easy task—each provider has its unique set of tools, processes, and challenges, demanding specialized expertise. This book cuts through the complexity, delivering practical guidance on embedding security best practices across the core infrastructure components of AWS, Azure, and GCP. It equips information security professionals and cloud engineers with the skills to identify risks and implement robust security controls throughout the design, deployment, and maintenance of public cloud environments. Starting with the shared responsibility model, cloud service models, and deployment models, this book helps you get to grips with fundamental concepts such as compute, storage, networking, identity management, and encryption. You’ll then explore common threats and compliance requirements for cloud environments. As you progress, you'll implement security strategies across deployments ranging from small-scale environments to enterprise-grade production systems, including hybrid and multi-cloud setups. This edition expands on emerging topics like GenAI service security and DevSecOps, with hands-on examples leveraging built-in security features of AWS, Azure, and GCP. By the end of this book, you'll confidently secure any cloud environment with a comprehensive understanding of cloud security principles.

Managing Hybrid Clouds

In the previous chapters, we covered cloud infrastructure fundamentals, common threats in cloud environments, and how to engage with cloud providers. In this chapter, we will discuss hybrid clouds.

A hybrid cloud is a combination of an on-premises data center or private cloud and a public cloud environment. It is considered an extension of our local data center and we must keep this in mind as we take the necessary steps to manage, maintain, and secure our infrastructure and services across the entire hybrid solution.

We are not only extending our local data center infrastructure to the cloud but also extending our security boundaries to the cloud, so we wish to have a central way to control security operations in a hybrid architecture.

In the following diagram, we can see an example of a hybrid architecture, based on Azure:
