Cloud Identity Patterns and Strategies: Design enterprise cloud identity models with OAuth 2.0 and Azure Active Directory

Get to grips with identity patterns and design a structured enterprise identity model for cloud applications

Key Features:

• Learn all you need to know about different identity patterns and implementing them in real-world scenarios
• Handle multi-IDP-related common situations no matter how big your organization
• Gain practical insights into OAuth implementation patterns and flows

Book Description:

Identity is paramount for every architecture design, making it crucial for enterprise and solutions architects to understand the benefits and pitfalls of implementing identity patterns. However, information on cloud identity patterns is generally scattered across different sources and rarely approached from an architect's perspective, and this is what Cloud Identity Patterns and Strategies aims to solve, empowering solutions architects to take an active part in implementing identity solutions.

Throughout this book, you'll cover various theoretical topics along with practical examples that follow the implementation of a standard de facto identity provider (IdP) in an enterprise, such as Azure Active Directory. As you progress through the chapters, you'll explore the different factors that contribute to an enterprise's current status quo around identities and harness modern authentication approaches to meet specific requirements of an enterprise. You'll also be able to make sense of how modern application designs are impacted by the company's choices and move on to recognize how a healthy organization tackles identity and critical tasks that the development teams pivot on.

By the end of this book, you'll be able to breeze through creating portable, robust, and reliable applications that can interact with each other.

What You Will Learn:

• Understand the evolution of identity in the enterprise
• Discover basic to advanced OAuth patterns and implementations
• Find out how OAuth standards are usually adopted in the enterprise
• Explore proven solutions for modern identity challenges
• Use Azure AD for implementing identity solutions
• Comprehend how company structure and strategies influence design decisions

Who this book is for:

This book is for cloud security engineers and identity experts. Enterprise architects, tech leads, developers, and anyone who wants to learn how to use identity patterns and strategies to build identity models for the modern cloud era will find this book useful. This book covers many DevOps and Agile principles; although not a pre-requisite, familiarity with these topics would be helpful.

深入了解身份模式，並為雲應用程式設計結構化的企業身份模型

主要特點:
- 學習各種身份模式以及在實際場景中實施它們的所有必要知識
- 無論組織大小，處理與多個身份提供者相關的常見情況
- 獲得有關OAuth實施模式和流程的實用見解

書籍描述:
身份對於每個架構設計都至關重要，因此企業和解決方案架構師了解實施身份模式的好處和缺點至關重要。然而，有關雲身份模式的信息通常分散在不同的來源中，並且很少從架構師的角度進行探討，這就是《雲身份模式和策略》的目標，使解決方案架構師能夠積極參與實施身份解決方案。

在本書中，您將涵蓋各種理論主題，並通過實際示例來跟隨在企業中實施標準事實上的身份提供者（IdP），例如Azure Active Directory的實現。隨著您進一步閱讀，您將探索對企業當前身份狀態的各種因素，並利用現代身份驗證方法滿足企業的特定需求。您還將能夠理解現代應用程式設計如何受到公司選擇的影響，並進一步認識到健康組織如何處理身份和開發團隊所依賴的關鍵任務。

通過閱讀本書，您將能夠輕鬆創建可互相交互的可攜、強大且可靠的應用程式。

您將學到什麼:
- 了解企業中身份的演變
- 探索從基本到高級的OAuth模式和實施
- 了解企業通常採用的OAuth標準
- 探索現代身份挑戰的成熟解決方案
- 使用Azure AD實施身份解決方案
- 理解公司結構和策略如何影響設計決策

本書適合對象:
本書適合雲安全工程師和身份專家。企業架構師、技術領導、開發人員以及任何希望學習如何使用身份模式和策略為現代雲時代建立身份模型的人都會發現本書有用。本書涵蓋了許多DevOps和敏捷原則；雖然不是必需的先備知識，但對這些主題的熟悉將有所幫助。
