What is this?
Providers secure the cloud; you secure what you put in it — the split depends on IaaS/PaaS/SaaS.
Why should you care?
CloudVerse breaches often start in customer IAM, open buckets, or unpatched guest OS.
See it live — copy this example
Use AWS/Azure/GCP free tier or local Docker/Kind. Sketches and YAML are meant to be typed and adapted.
# Shared responsibility (IaaS)
# Provider: facilities, hardware, hypervisor, regions
# You: OS patches, app, IAM, data, network config
# CloudVerse checklist: MFA, least privilege, encrypt, patchWhat happened?
- Read the provider matrix for each service.
- “Managed” does not mean “configured safely by default”.
Practice next
- Draw the split for a VM.
- Draw it for object storage.
- Add MFA to the root/admin account.
- Review S3/Blob public access block.
- Patch a lab VM.
Remember
Provider vs customer duties. Service-specific split. Defaults are not enough.
CloudVerse shared duty
Security review maps who owns IAM vs DC.
Outcome: No more “the cloud should have stopped that”.
