Security Guidelines Applied to Microservices Cloud Architectures
This whitepaper provides security guidance for microservices deployed in cloud environments. It explains the relationship between microservices and cloud-native applications, covering scalability, flexibility, resilience, deployment models, cloud service models, and shared responsibility. The paper highlights security challenges created by distributed services, internet exposure, multi-tenancy, vendor lock-in, and operational complexity. It offers best-practice recommendations for securing modern architectures, emphasizing that cloud and microservices benefits must be balanced with strong controls, clear responsibilities, and security-aware design.
