Most new application development now takes place in the cloud at a faster pace than ever before. Companies are leveraging cloud native capabilities such as storage, orchestration, and compute to deliver value to their business. We are dealing with more services, more users, and more data which all translate to more risk. Getting your access control right becomes more critical than ever - and it’s not just about security, it’s also about enabling new scenarios. The way we address access control needs to be in line with DevOps and the twelve-factor app. In recent years, new approaches such as attribute and policy-based access control have simplified authorization. New standards such as ALFA and form factors such as cloud-native authorization engines now enable enterprises and their developers to seamlessly integrate the right controls into their cloud application and data lake development. In this talk, we will cover how cloud-native authorization can help you go to cloud more quickly and safely leveraging containerization, configuration-driven authorization, and CI/CD principles.
