The crew at Packet Protectors--a podcast within the Packet Pushers network of podcasts--hosted Amir Tabdili and me on the show. We had a lively discussion around inserting firewalls in the data path to protect cloud workloads.

In the episode, we covered topics including the following.

1. What cloud firewalls are and how they differ from "big-iron" firewalls in the enterprise data center
2. Factors in selecting cloud firewall appliances vs native Cloud Service Provider (CSP) firewall services
3. Challenges surrounding attempts to standardize firewall inspection designs across CSPs
