With the rise of cyber-attacks on cloud systems globally, Cloud Service Providers, Data carriers, and hosting providers are forced to consider the novel challenges posed and requirements for attacks and, more specifically, DDoS protection in large hosting environment setups. This chapter proposes using a multi-tiered network design based on a Hybrid cloud solution comprising an On-premise solution and a public cloud infrastructure capable of handling hurricane-sized DDoS storms.
