This blog is a summary of my posts on Cloud Security Architecture. I’m trying to create some blogs to organize what I’ve written on various topics a bit better.

If you need help with cloud security architecture or need your architecture reviewed you can schedule a call with me through IANS Research. I’m currently focusing on AWS in my latest blog series but teach AWS, Azure and GCP cloud security classes. Although taking classes directly from a cloud vendor is great — I’ve done it — you will hear things in my classes you won’t hear from a cloud vendor from a customer perspective.

In my recent blog series I’m building a cloud architecture from the ground up. I have some tools I need to build and use for my own purposes so I thought I would share what I’m doing along the way. It’s a hands on approach to some of the things I talk about in my classes and includes a related GitHub repository where I publish the code. I hope to expand this to other cloud platforms in the future if time allows.

I’ve also compared and contrasted services you might choose when designing a cloud architecture.

Route traffic through AWS for security and inspection

Here’s a mini-series on setting up your home or business traffic to flow through AWS for inspection. Still adding all the stories to show how to do it.

Related to the above posts — some issues I had while trying to implement that solution:
