Cross posting a talk I'll be giving at OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) since it is all about cloud computing.
Desription: We'll be demonstrating how virtualized web app security controls (WAF, anti-DDoS, IDS/IPS, etc) can be "injected" into a cloud environment using service chains within a private clouds layer 2 networking using advanced software defined networking (SDN) tools. This allows controls to be seamlessly added/removed without changing any of the layer 3 networking (IP addresses or gateways). This is a presentation version of a lab I held at the OpenStack Summit and the O'Reilly Security Conference. The full lab is available on GitHub for those that want to dive in further.
