Summary: In this article, I provide a update on development of the "Architecting for the AWS Platform" video series for O'Reilly Media.
During the past few weeks, I've been busy developing and recording content for O'Reilly Media as part of the up and coming series, "Architecting for the AWS Platform". I have almost completed the chapter on security, a topic that should be front of mind for every architect irrespective of the technology platform they are architecting for.
When complete, the chapter will include a 5~10 minute video for each of the following topics:
- Network Access Controls (NACLs)
- The shared responsibility model
- Multi-factor authentication
- Cross account access
- Encryption
- Monitoring and alerting
- Governance, risk and compliance
- Perimeter security
- Infrastructure as code
- Identity federation
- Logging
- AWS CloudTrail
- AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)
- Security groups
- Amazon S3 bucket policies
In each video, I attempt to distill the essential architectural design considerations that I hope will act as a guide to help architects efficiently develop secure architectures on the AWS platform.
