Re: Cloud infrastructure and bridging, Azure specifically

["Mclaughlin, Kevin (mclaugkl)" <mclaugkl () UCMAIL UC EDU>]

Hi David:

We are doing this at Whirlpool (I'm an adjunct now at UC).  The caveat for us is that we are maintaining the Domain 
controllers in house but Cloud sourcing all the other stuff.  We are actually doing this for a lot of SAS stuff (Azure 
has a large offering in that space).   We are utilizing AT&T's NBOND(?) network pipe for the connectivity.   Not sure I 
got the name exactly right of the AT&T secure Cloud connection offering.

Subject: [SECURITY] Cloud infrastructure and bridging, Azure specifically

Good evening all,

Any organizations either experimenting with or deploying Azure AD domain controller's?  Either as secondary/tertiary 
etc. DC's, or as a DR strategy?  If so, could you share info. on your risk management process as it relates to that 
decision?

We want to experiment with it, but the idea of bridging our network with a cloud one is somewhat unnerving.  Its one 
thing to put stuff "out" to the cloud, another to bring the cloud "in" I guess, and I'm curious for those who have what 
sort of controls you may have considered/implemented to alleviate some of these issues.

Thanks,
