6 Security
Every aspect of Azure involves security. After all, we’re trusting someone else with all of our data, processing, transfers, and top-secret business logic. Luckily, Azure is designed and built from the ground up with security as a top priority, which means we can trust it, right?
This chapter focuses on that built-in security, all the things that you get for free when you use the cloud services that Azure offers. However, we’ll also dive into the parts that you can control, configure, and, of course, mess up. As security is another foundational part of Azure, this chapter won’t be delving into each product and how to make it the most secure for your project or application. Instead, we’ll focus on the security concepts that run through all the products like a shining vein of titanium-plated armor and secures your architectural wonders.
