Can anyone tell me the difference between this and Azure's RBAC? Just reading this, they seem to be the same or very similar.

- spydum 10y agoapples and oranges actually. Azure RBAC is great in that you can keep it within the same account. Orgs and accounts means you can never really share resources, nor move them between. Think about what happens if you have a VPC in account A, and a VPC in account B. I want them to talk over internal network inside the VPC. Now I have to setup VPC peering between accounts. Azure RBAC model could let me share one VNET, and simply permission the app resource groups.
- mmcconnell1618 10y agoAzure RBAC is about controlling access to resources inside an Azure subscription. Subscriptions in Azure can be broken out into Resource Groups which are commonly used for units of deployment. RBAC would restrict a login to a specific set of resource groups and actions (i.e. modify, don't delete). Azure has a similar account structure for enterprise customers. They get an root level enrollment and then have the flexibility to divide into "departments" and "accounts." Subscriptions live under accounts. Administrators and viewers can be assigned at any level and cost reporting is built into the enterprise portal. Policies cascade from higher levels down into accounts and subscriptions. Policies as JSON files that can control things like restricting regions, services, etc. Disclaimer: I work for Microsoft and Azure is my focus.
- TallGuyShort 10y agoI don't know too much about Azure RBAC, but I would suggest a better parallel in the AWS world is IAM, which has a notion of roles to map users to permissions...
