Security Architecture for Hybrid Cloud

Appendix A. Case Study

The book uses a case study to enable you to see how to apply the tools and techniques discussed. The case study may use terms you are unfamiliar with, but a quick search on the internet will give further details about a clean air scheme.

To get the most out of the book, read and think about the security implications behind the case study. Some descriptions may be unclear and have inaccuracies, but that’s standard with every project. The architectural decision records and RAID log become useful in managing this uncertainty and project risk.

Clean Air Guildford Case Study

The local authority has hired Clean Air Guildford to design, construct, and manage a system to charge polluting car drivers to enter the city. Cameras will monitor cars entering the city to detect the number plate on the car. To enter the city, the car drivers will need to pay a charge within 48 hours or receive a fine.

The project has already started to build the new hybrid cloud solution, with the core application hosted using PostgreSQL on a public cloud platform. As a security architect, you have received a request to urgently develop a security solution for the system.

The project deployment approach agreed upon between the CIO, Business Sponsors, and the Project Executive (PE) leading the integration is as follows:

• Start with a development environment using Red Hat OpenShift to build a cloud native container application using DevOps practices on a public cloud platform.

• Then build ...
