Episode 14 — Validate identity boundaries across accounts, subscriptions, and projects
Notas do episódio
This episode explains why cloud identity boundaries matter and how they are commonly implemented using multiple accounts, subscriptions, or projects to separate environments, teams, and data sensitivity levels. You’ll define boundary goals—containment, billing separation, delegated administration, and audit clarity—then connect them to exam scenarios where a breach in one environment must not automatically compromise others. We’ll cover practical boundary validation: ensuring roles cannot cross into restricted environments, confirming that shared services do not become unintended bridges, and checking that federation and directory integrations don’t override isolation assumptions. A scenario shows a production account that is logically “separate” but still reachable because a central identity group is granted broad role assignment privileges across all environments. You’ll learn how to reason about effective access across boundary layers, including organizational policy, identity policy, and resource policy, and how to prove the boundary holds using targeted tests and logging evidence.
