AWS Control Tower customers leverage infrastructure as code (IaC) to consistently deploy resources within their AWS multi-account setup. Enterprises want their developers to create and manage resources that they need to build applications while maintaining compliance with the organizations’ security, operational, and cost optimization best practices. Most solutions today inform customers about non-compliant resources only […]

Many enterprises use frameworks such as “The 7 R’s” to formulate their migration strategy and approach when embarking on a large-scale cloud migration. These frameworks are great at conceptually capturing “how” to migrate applications (e.g., rehost vs. refactor), but they don’t take into account “what” the target state post-migration should look like or help you […]

Many customers rehost their environments to AWS using AWS Application Migration Service (MGN), and have to prepare future-state configuration for every server they are migrating within each migration wave. When a migration wave includes multiple servers, customers have to manually configure multiple EC2 Launch Templates in the AWS console. For each server migrated using AWS […]

The AWS pay-as-you-go model is ideal for customers looking to optimize their infrastructure costs in the cloud. A simple way to achieve significant savings is to stop Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances when they aren’t being used, for example, outside of business hours. This approach can reduce EC2 instances utilization and reduce the […]
