About This Architecture

Single-tenant HIPAA/GDPR/CCPA telemedicine platform on Azure AKS with multi-layer encryption, network isolation, and comprehensive audit logging. Patient requests flow through Azure DDoS Protection and Envoy Gateway with TLS termination into an AKS cluster running Cilium CNI for transparent pod-to-pod WireGuard encryption, with Frontend, Backend API, and Clinical Services pods protected by NetworkPolicy. Transactional data in Azure MySQL and clinical PHI in Azure PostgreSQL use customer-managed keys in Azure Key Vault with purge protection, while Databricks Delta Tables with Unity Catalog govern analytics access via row-level security and column masking. Payments isolation employs five overlapping controls—dedicated node pool, namespace, subnet, Key Vault, and Cilium egress policies—to segregate third-party integrations with pharmacy networks and insurance clearinghouses through a NAT Gateway with static IPs. This architecture demonstrates defense-in-depth for regulated healthcare workloads, combining infrastructure isolation, encryption at rest and in transit, and role-based access controls. Fork and customize this diagram on Diagrams.so to adapt the isolation model, add additional data stores, or modify observability layers for your compliance requirements.

How do you design a HIPAA-compliant telemedicine platform on Azure Kubernetes with encryption in transit and at rest, plus isolated payment processing?

This diagram shows a multi-layer approach: Cilium WireGuard encrypts pod-to-pod traffic, Azure Key Vault with customer-managed keys secures databases, and Databricks Unity Catalog enforces row-level security on PHI. Payments isolation uses five overlapping controls—dedicated node pool, namespace, subnet, Key Vault, and Cilium egress policies—to segregate third-party integrations independently.
