Like many technologies these days, the cloud computing market is still experiencing tremendous growth. While cloud services continue to be adopted widely across organizations for some of their most intense workloads, the protection of these environments is crucial. There are new progressive approaches, for instance, managed identities for cloud resources that allow for easy
authentication and set up of access rights. This paper will explore the protection of managed identities especially for VMs in the context of Azure DevOps.
In this Whitepaper, you will learn:
- Understand the concept of managed identities in the context of Azure resources and how it is different from the conventional model of user authentication.
- Understand how to define specific VM-managed identity settings in Azure DevOps scenarios.
- Identify the security and access control advantages associated with the use of managed identities in Azure VMs.
- Identify possibilities for creating managed identities and their use in secure and scalable productions.
- Review proper management approach in governing and monitoring managed identities.
