Implementing Network Isolation, Secure Connectivity, and Protection
In this chapter, we will learn about the patterns that can be leveraged to secure the hybrid cloud network infrastructure. Along with compute and storage, the network is one of the core infrastructure components. To scale deployments across multiple clouds, the network needs to be scaled and managed as a core unit. This is achieved through network virtualization, which makes sharing physical network resources possible by creating a virtual network. This is enabled by combining networking resources across internal and external networks. In this chapter, we will discuss the foundation patterns for managing this large virtual network. The patterns fall under the following categories:
- Network isolation – how to isolate network traffic based on purpose and target environments
- Network connectivity – how to establish secure connectivity in hybrid and multi-cloud environments
- Network protection...
