Cloud first, cloud smart, cloud effective
Higher service uptime
Lower cost of ownership
Better lifecycle sustainability
Software as a service (SaaS) first, buy over build. Prefer platform as a service (PaaS), aka managed services, over infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
Recognize hybrid architecture as a default and a long term condition. Strive for security, high perforamnce and resiliency of hybrid network connectivity.
Expand to multi-cloud with well defined vision and business value. Focus on overall cloud ecosystem efficiencies over benefits from individual services.
We choose cloud native development. We avoid adoption or depedencies on cloud managegment platform or 3rd party tools and framework.
We execute in a one broker, one platform, and one team operation philosophy where a centralized program runs all aspects of operation (devops, secops, finops)
Use infrastructure as code (IaC) for all possible work. Roll out changes through continous integration, continous deployment (CICD) pipeline.
Host critical and platform related work in shared service accounts, including network, logging, security, CICD, and other common infrastructure.
Take advantage of improved observabilities of cloud. This applies to security monitoring, workload audit, finanical, and user activity report.
Follow required compliance (NIST 800-53, CIS/STIG, GDPR, PCI-DSS etc.). Implement, automate, and enforce strong guardrails on all operations.
Establish a body to promote cloud awareness, best practices, and adoption. Foster a strong cloud community to engage internal and external stakeholders.
Perform regular perforamnce report on cloud program including adoption, cost, security, compliance, and process improvement. This site is a live example.
