Exploring security considerations
Security is a critical aspect of sustainable cloud development, as it not only protects valuable assets but also contributes to efficient resource utilization and protects against the need for large scale redeployments or reestablishment of solution due to security breaches. This section explores how security considerations can be integrated into sustainable cloud architectures to create more resilient and eco-friendly systems.
Role of secure architectures
Secure architectures play a crucial role in achieving resource efficiency and promoting sustainability with least-privilege access and segmentation to minimize the attack surface. Architectures that leverage cloud-native security services, such as managed security services, identity and access management, and data encryption, are more energy-efficient than on-premises security solutions.
