Episode 4 — Compare AWS, Azure, and GCP security strengths and weak defaults
This episode compares the big three cloud providers through the lens the exam cares about: what each does well, what defaults can betray you, and how the same security objectives show up in different product shapes. You’ll translate core domains—identity, network controls, logging, key management, and storage security—into cross-cloud equivalencies so you can reason from first principles when a question uses unfamiliar naming. We’ll emphasize weak defaults and “foot-guns,” such as permissive access patterns, overly broad roles, and services that become reachable in ways teams didn’t intend. You’ll also learn a practical method for evaluating a service: identify its control plane, its data plane, its trust boundaries, and its logging hooks, then apply that method to a scenario where a managed service is deployed securely in one provider but insecurely in another due to unnoticed default behavior.
