Study Notes
Azure Virtual Datacenter Overview
- Azure Virtual Datacenter is a conceptual framework, not a product, for designing secure cloud infrastructures.
- It provides a way to think about structuring cloud environments mirroring physical datacenters.
- Offers proven practices and guidance for cloud migrations.
- Future guidance includes scripts and templates for building a virtual datacenter using a trusted extension model.
- Intended for enterprise IT architects and executives.
- The guide demonstrates an approach to secure, trusted virtual datacenters on the Azure platform.
Virtual Datacenter Environments
- Offers 6 environments for independent workload operation and workspace-specific access.
- Workspaces allow teams to build solutions and manage workloads with significant freedom, adhering to centralized IT policies.
- Workloads are isolated in separate workspaces.
- Workspaces are designed for secure resource deployment and rapid instantiation, supporting developer agility.
- Workspaces adhere to the virtual datacenter's access control and policies.
- Workspaces route all external traffic through the central IT infrastructure for policy enforcement.
- Multiple workloads can be deployed in a single or multiple isolated workspaces.
- Enables great freedom in building and managing workloads.
Virtual Datacenter Isolation and Security
- Acts as a logical namespace grouping resources.
- This namespace acts as virtual walls isolating resources from other tenants and the internet.
- This isolation is crucial for multiple workspaces.
- Isolate workloads (e.g., business applications) in separate, isolated workspaces.
- Resources isolated from other tenants and the external internet.
Shared Infrastructure of Trust
- Azure takes responsibility for physical infrastructure maintenance and security.
- Organizations need to trust the Azure platform for secure solutions.
- Organizations need to control their resources within the multi-tenant environment.
- Understanding control over resources and trust in platform elements is critical for a trusted extension.
- Organizations relinquish on-premises datacenter responsibilities to the Azure platform.
- Microsoft builds products for easier customer use.
- Azure has the largest compliance portfolio in the industry, continually growing.
Compliance and Transparency
- Organizations must comply with measures within the applications they build in addition to platform controls.
- Microsoft Compliance Manager provides transparency into controls managed by the platform and the organization.
- The tool assists in understanding compliance related to platform and organizational controls (encryption, multi-factor authentication, role assignments, etc.).
- Compliance is managed both at the platform level (by Microsoft) and at the application level.
- Leverage audit reports, operational rigor, aggressive testing (e.g., red teaming).
