Security is usually an afterthought when organizations design microservices for cloud systems.
Most companies today are exposed to potential security threats but their responses are often
more reactive than proactive. This leads to unnecessarily complicated systems that are hard to
implement and even harder to manage and scale. Author Gaurav Raje shows you how to build highly
secure systems on AWS without increasing overhead. Ideal for cloud solution architects and
software developers with AWS experience this practical book starts with a high-level
architecture and design discussion then explains how to implement your solution in the cloud
while ensuring that the development and operational experience isn't compromised. By leveraging
the AWS Shared Responsibility Model you'll be able to: Develop a modular architecture using
microservices that aims to simplify compliance with various regulations in finance medicine
and legal services Introduce various AWS-based security controls to help protect your
microservices from malicious actors Leverage the modularity of the architecture to
independently scale security mechanisms on individual microservices Improve the security
posture without compromising the autonomy or efficiency of software development teams
