Azure Tutorials Series - Cloud Compliance

-
By now, we already know the basics of cloud, cloud deployment models, different sections of cloud services such as IaaS, PaaS or Saas. In this article we will learn about the compliance's that Cloud service provider follows.

Cloud Compliance

There are certain sets of guidelines and standards every cloud provider has to take care while providing its services to the customers. For instance, sensitive data which is hosted on the cloud servers by secret agencies could not be leaked. Whatever personal data user is hosting on cloud should be kept intact. We will be going through such standards and compliance's in this article

Criminal Justice Information Services(CJIS)
  • FBI maintains a CJIS database and if any US state or local agency wants to access it has to adhere CJIS security policy
Cloud Security Alliance(CSA) Star Certification
  • Independent third party assessment of cloud service provider
General Data Protection Regulation(GDPR)
  • Came into the act in 2018
  • European policy law applies to EU residents
  • restricts collection and analysis of data 
EU Model Clauses
  • If a customer from Europe is moving outside of the continent, this law ensures that the data could be migrated as well
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act(HIPAA)
ISO/IEC 27018
Multi Tier Cloud Security(MTCS) Singapore

That is all to be covered for Cloud compliance. We need not to go into the details and learn what does what. Only the sound knowledge must be apt of these policies.

Looking forward to covering more topics!

In this article, we will learn about Azure networking concepts such as architecture, microservices, virtual networks, VPNs, subnet, VPN gateways and most importantly Network Security Group(NSG). All these terms are to be understood if you appearing for AZ900 Microsoft Azure Fundamentals exam. Azure Networking In previous articles we have learnt about Micro- services and how they work, these are alos loosely coupled architecture. Some of the features includes Independent components interact with each other with the help of queues Can be updated and deployed independently Highly scalable Supports Asynchronous messaging N-tier Architecture Supports loosely coupled architecture Application divided into multiple tiers such that higher tier can access lower tier but not vice versa Tiers are re-usable and can be updated or replaced easily without any hassle. Three-tier in general Web Tier(front end) Application tier(back end) Data tier(Storage) Virtual Network Isolated network shared by few g...

Testing in CI/CD

If you are part of testing fraternity you would have heard CI/CD numerous times by now. It's the talk of the software testing town. In this article, we will cover the basics of CI/CD, what actually it is and how it is implemented in software testing. What is continuous integration? In simple terms, development teams can integrate their code into a shared repository. This helps in maintaining code quality and identifying potential issues with the local version of the code at an early stage. What is continuous delivery? Everything that is being continuously merged by the development team, is continuously deployed to the live environment. Continuous delivery is often coined as ‘Continuous Deployment’ as well. Since most developers work in parallel, continuously integrating their code into one repository would mean that the master branch is continuously updated with new features. In order to ensure that there is no compromise in the code quality with so many changes...

Azure Tutorials Series - IaaS vs PaaS vs SaaS

We already have covered Public vs Private vs Hybrid differentiation in the previous article. In this article we will be covering three categories of cloud computing with relevant examples and details. Most of you might already be using these services in your daily day-to-day tasks unaware of the face that your organisation has already started the transition into the cloud. For an example, Office 365 is a active SaaS(Software as a service) that most of us uses, VMs are examples of IaaS(Infrastructure as a service) and Azure SQL Database is PaaS(Platform as a service). Now how do we differentiate between the three categories as a user? Will cover the details below. Infrastructure as a Service(IaaS) Service provider provides you the hardware User gets some control over the hardware, can customise operating system, storage and VMs. Ensuring service is up and running is shared responsibility While cloud provider makes sure that the hardware is functioning correctly, user needs to make sure ...
