Amazon WorkSpaces Enhances security with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)
Multifactor authentication (MFA) is a security system that allows a multi level authentication to verify the user’s identity for a login or other transactions. This is necessary to protect your data from unauthorized access, when using the Amazon WorkSpaces resources in the cloud.
The objective of MFA is to create a layered defense and make it more difficult for an unauthorized person to access a target such as a physical location, computing device, network or database. If one factor is attacked, then there is still another barrier to breach for the hackers.
Amazon WorkSpaces is a fully managed desktop computing service in the cloud. It allows customers to easily provision cloud-based desktops that allow end-users to access the documents, applications and resources they need with the device of their choice, including laptops, iPad, Kindle Fire, or Android tablets.
Microservices Architecture – Emerging Trend of Cloud
2016 heralds in Microservices, the emerging new trend in the world of Cloud Servicing. The idea is to have small highly scalable and highly available applications that run on cloud environments. Simply put, Microservices can be defined as “Loosely coupled service oriented architecture with bounded contexts”.
What it means is that, Microservices are small independent units of code, which are developed to function without any dependencies on the underlying architecture. They contain everything from the operating system, platform, framework, runtime and dependencies, packaged as one unit of execution.
