How to Secure Compute Infrastructure

In this chapter, we will learn about the patterns that can be leveraged to secure a hybrid cloud compute infrastructure. A modern hybrid cloud infrastructure consists of the following compute types:

  • Bare-metal servers
  • Virtual machines (VMs)
  • Containers
  • Serverless

Depending on the type of compute, the pattern for securing them also varies. The following diagram shows the different protection patterns for compute that will be discussed in this chapter:
