Cloud Center of Excellence
The Cloud Center of Excellence (CCoE) is a core team established to oversee an organization’s adoption of cloud as well as maintain alignment with business objectives. It consists of architecture, security, operations, compliance and finance leads to collectively guide how cloud enables the businesses to grow.
Regional Landing Zones
The landing zone concept coupled with well-architected frameworks and modern standards form the foundation upon which adaptable and secure cloud workloads run. Effectiveness is measured by the ability to consume cloud appropriately and efficiently.
Adoption Framework & Roadmap
Lead by the CCoE, an adoption framework (CAF) is drafted and ratified across the organization consisting of, implementation guidance, best practices, and tools that are proven to accelerate adoption, mitigate risks and promote an attitude of change.
Iterate and Mature
Day 2 operations and optimization lifecycles take hold as a vehicle moving towards higher states of maturity. Areas such as resiliency, performance, automation, observability and lowering operating costs are tackled in an agile fashion.
Our Process is Simple but Refined
- Rehost (migration-phase)
- Replatform (continuous)
- Repurchase (migration-phase)
- Refactor (continuous)
- Retain (continuous)
- Retire (continuous)
- Relocate (migration-phase)
Our Platform Engineering Solutions Involve:
- Creating and maintaining the foundational services that enable developers and their products to run efficiently and reliably.
- Designing and managing cloud environments, container orchestration systems, developer tooling and robust “shift-left” pipelines to streamline the deployment, testing and scaling of applications.
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE)
- A discipline focused on ensuring the reliability and availability of these applications and platforms.
- Uses a data-driven approach to automate operations, monitor performance, and respond to incidents.
- Aims to strike a balance between system stability and feature development.
Cost Containment
Our cost containment solutions employ tactical and strategic practices to control and reduce cloud-related expenses effectively. It involves assessing, monitoring and optimizing various aspects of cloud usage to avoid unnecessary spending. Key elements of cost containment include: resource right-sizing, auto-scaling (to zero), usage analysis, leveraging savings programs, tagging and accountability.
Financial Operations (FinOps)
FinOps shares root principals with DevOps by defining a set of practices that integrate financial management, technology, and cross-functional collaboration to optimize cloud spending. It emphasizes cost transparency, accountability, and efficiency in cloud operations. Our key principles and practices of FinOps include: cost visibility, responsibility and accountability, cloud governance, continuous optimization and a culture of collaboration.
Monitoring and Management
Continuously monitoring the performance, availability, and security of cloud resources. This involves using tools for logging, monitoring, and alerting. We leverage the ITIL disciplines to define incident response and problem management.
Security & Access
Ensuring the security of cloud resources by maintaining all forms of access controls, onboarding, offboarding and patch management.
Provisioning, Automation & Scaling
Creating and configuring cloud resources, including all forms of XaaS, infra and inter-connectivity and integrations to meet application requirements. Implementing automation scripts and workflows to streamline tasks like resource provisioning and configuration management.
Backup and Disaster Recovery
Implementing and maintaining tools and processes for data backup, disaster recovery, and high availability.
