At this point, we can pretty confidently project that the cloud isn’t going anywhere. In the last few years, we’ve seen critical production workloads move to the cloud en masse—and that’s only going to continue.

One such challenge is ensuring communication between your microservices.

There’s a common misconception that as soon as a business signs up for a solution from a cloud service provider (CSP), that the CSP will automatically ensure all their dealings in that cloud environment are safe and secure. As dedicated as Cloud Service Providers are to cybersecurity, that’s simply not possible. Your cloud provider has no control over the customer data you share, the aptitude of your employees, or how you optimize your own on-premises security and firewalls.
