Private cloud might come with security and cost benefits

09 December, 2020 16:08

That's for sure. We will have a hybrid environment at target. Mix of private and public. As an example we have landing zones at all 3 of the cloud service providers as well as our private infra.

Yeah, that looks like the industry standard. How does Nokia envision data security on the public cloud? If using S3 / cloud storage, how are security policies defined across buckets? Is everything under a single VPC or multiple VPCs?

09 December, 2020 16:11

On the cost benefits - the public players are making it very attractive to be competitive in the market. The other issue as well is the the private cloud costs are generally under estimated from our experience and as you know keeping all that infrastructure current is another challenge. But for sure it will end up being a mix.

We have multiple VPC's per our classifications

09 December, 2020 16:14

We are essentially replicating many of our security polices and profiles on the cloud, and the nice benefit is that we are also able to leverage the latest technology in security as well as having influence on the service offering from the cloud provider

Thanks Ravi, Mac ! Are you guys utilising VPC Peering or making use of PrivateLink, or other managed services ?

09 December, 2020 16:17

Also, on VPCs, are these VPCs segregated based on business use-case classification or across teams / cost etc?

09 December, 2020 16:22

The VPCs are set primarily by security policies (e.g. confidential, high, etc..) . We are working on further refining this for certain services we are going to implement within google, such a GCVE or BMS. We are not using any VPC peering right now. Our connectivity to Google is via Direct Connects.
