Hybrid cloud environments come into play more each month, this service is becoming increasingly important for security and load balancing. Hybrid cloud environments are too fluid to manage with traditional access control methods and load-balancing solutions. This is where dynamic access control integration comes in. Dynamic access control is a process that enables organizations to define and enforce access controls based on the context of the request, not merely user identities. This could be applied in a hybrid cloud environment to implement access controls based on the whereabouts of users, the kind of data, and the threat level. This is intended to add an extra layer of security as we can limit the users who have permission to access specific resources. You can add dynamic access control to your load-balancing solutions for resource efficiency and performance improvements. It also reduces the possibility of service outage, as more accurate granular access control based on lower visibility to higher certain users making fewer requests at a time than another set can simplify algorithms that tombstone or down-replicated out-of-date servers and thus carve their load across racks of machines.
