Case study: Bob, the public cloud provider
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bob is a lead architect for a company that deploys a large greenfield
public cloud. This cloud provides IaaS for the masses and enables any
consumer with a valid credit card access to utility computing and
storage, but the primary focus is enterprise customers. Data privacy
concerns are a big priority for Bob as they are seen as a major barrier
to large-scale adoption of the cloud by organizations.
Bob is the lead architect for a company deploying a new public cloud,
focused on Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). While this cloud will be
open for any consumer with a valid credit card to have access to utility
computing and storage, the primary focus will be enterprise customers.
This means Bob's primary certification concern is PCI compliance, and
his tooling will be developed around the auditing and reporting there,
as well as the specific domains included in the PCI audit. As Bob's team
is technically skilled in the Linux domain, he will be utilizing LDAP
for federation. With plans to scale the cloud rapidly, Bob selects an
open source log management deployment built for large-volumes of events
with a highly customizable view. Data privacy and security concerns are
the top barrier to adoption of the cloud, so Bob will also implement
strict internal processes and two-factor authentication around
sensitive assets, as well as allowing customers to leverage this for
logins as well.
