The cloud in an IaaS service model
For this assignment’s scenario your management is considering deploying several VMs for the next project to the cloud in an IaaS service model to replace your current on-prem data center. They have asked you how hosting the workload in the cloud will change responsibility for security controls. Develop a PowerPoint presentation of no more than ten slides and provide guidance on who will be responsible (the cloud provider or your organization) for various security controls. Give specific examples using the VM you deployed in the previous module as a guide. Consider patching, intrusion response, software updates, network access, security monitoring, system redundancy, and physical security.
