Summary

Understanding the cloud security services that are available is very important. A useful guide for best practices in designing a secure infrastructure is the Cloud Adoption Framework. Azure AD provides a managed authentication and authorization solution for users and Azure resources. Azure resources are assigned a managed identity at creation, and this can be used for easy authentication and access control between the different services in your cloud environment. It is also possible to create service principals, which can be assigned to multiple services and facilitate third-party integration.

It is also important to properly secure your resources by defining access control restrictions. You can restrict your cloud users and administrators to confined roles and permissible actions using resource locks and RBAC rules. This will limit the changes that they can make in the environment and contribute to greater uptime and infrastructural continuity.
