Summary
In this chapter, we saw how cloud security is similar to yet different from traditional security. We also discussed the shared security model concept and highlighted how we have fewer security responsibilities when we adopt a cloud platform such as Microsoft Azure, but we are never without security responsibilities! And finally, I walked you through the process of setting up an Azure subscription, which puts you in a great place to follow along with the hands-on sections in the rest of this book.
Azure security is a deep and complex topic and we're only just getting started. In the next chapter, we'll start discussing one of the most important aspects of implementing security for your Azure environments – securing identity and access using Azure Active Directory.
