With the ever-increasing enterprise appetite for private cloud consumption, OpenStack’s free price tag is becoming more and more appealing to companies around the world. While OpenStack adoption rates continue to rise, security models continue to be the top challenges that face OpenStack operators.
Combine this landscape with the with the current security and compliance requirements that face enterprises today and the challenge is quite apparent. Customer agreements, internal standards, published standards, PCI, ISO, etc.
Architecting an OpenStack environment at scale that can meet the detail and rigor of today’s security and compliance requirements can be a daunting task. This presentation will focus on security architectural concepts and best practices that are in use by global service providers such as Amazon Azure, AWS and others to solve these exact challenges and relate those to private cloud platforms. We will discuss security segmentation, automation/orchestration and IT operational practices to enforce a secure, compliant, private cloud environment.
