What is a primary benefit of consolidating traffic through a central bastion/transit network in a hybrid cloud environment?
It minimizes hybrid cloud sprawl and consolidates security.
It reduces the need for physical network hardware.
It increases network redundancy and fault tolerance.
It decreases the latency of data transfers across the cloud network.
Acentralized bastion or transit networkimproves hybrid cloud security by:
Reducing cloud sprawlthrough a unified security control point.
Centralizing firewall, logging, and security monitoringfor betterthreat detection and response.
Enforcing consistent security policiesacross different cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, on-premises data centers).
Minimizing unauthorized lateral movementwithin hybrid cloud environments.
This concept is extensively covered in:
CCSK v5 - Security Guidance v4.0, Domain 7 (Infrastructure Security)
Cloud Controls Matrix (CCM) - Network Security and Monitoring.
