Does anyone have any info (or even links) they'd care to share on the current state of cloud security models with regards to the managed service provider perspective of a public cloud offering?
I'm working on a design for a public cloud offering and the security guys are screaming that I need to implement network access control (from what they describe, it's 802.1x) in the underlying network as they claim the VRF/MPLS/VPLS/vlan model doesn't scale well in a cloud. That all news to me. I've been doing SP networks for a long time, but have never heard of a requirement for the SP to maintain 802.1x across the network, with a master AD/Radius instance controlling access to the network by customers and hosted servers. I've asked them for links to where they're getting their information, but so far haven't gotten anything definitive from them, and it's holding up progress on this project. Any ideas, thoughts, etc are greatly appreciated.
