Deep dives
Understanding Privilege in Cloud vs. On-Premise
The definition of privilege varies significantly between cloud and on-premise environments. In traditional systems, privilege often equates to specific admin logins designed for particular roles, whereas in cloud settings, privilege is more about the entitlements necessary to perform tasks. For instance, a cloud user's privilege might include the necessary permissions to create an S3 bucket without a distinct admin role. This shift highlights the need for a more nuanced understanding of access controls within complex cloud architectures.
