Below is an another excerpt from a post I wrote for the Cloud Security Blog by Trend Micro:
As new applications are developed based on the cloud model, developers are turning to Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) to simplify application development and deployment. After all, babysitting the operating systems, data stores, messaging queues and application containers running below the application is complicated and costly. The promise of PaaS is the delivery of an application infrastructure, where the provider handles the care and feeding of the underlying stack.
Sounds great, until you consider how much control you are really giving up from a security perspective...
