Identity and Access Management Framework for Multi-tenant Resources in Hybrid Cloud Computing
share
While more organizations have been trying to move their infrastructure to the cloud in recent years, there have been significant challenges in how identities and access are managed in a hybrid cloud setting. This paper showcases a novel identity and access management framework for shared resources in a multi-tenant hybrid cloud environment. The paper demonstrates a method to implement the "mirror" identities of on-premise identities in the cloud. Following the best security practices, the framework ensures that only rightful users can use their mirror identities in the cloud. Furthermore, the paper also proposes a technique in scaling the framework to accommodate large-scale enterprises. The framework exhibited in the paper provides a comprehensive and scalable solution for enterprises to implement identity and access control in their hybrid cloud infrastructure. Although the paper focuses on implementing the framework in Google Cloud Platform, it can be easily applied to any major public cloud platform.
