Enterprise and AWS Cloud • IT departments today are being asked to deploy cloud

infrastructures as quickly and cost effectively as possible.

• Lack of in-house expertise to build and manage a cloud deployment, let alone do it fast and on budget.

• Further complication are cloud deployments need to be compliant with enterprise governance standards; and proper cost allocation across business units/departments.

Pitfalls • Master Credentials • Infrastructure Issues • Waterfall Design

Pitfalls – Master Credentials Share Master Credentials • Full access to account • Difficult to revoke access • Risk to existing cloud

infrastructure

Solution: Create IAM Users AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM)

• Restrict user access • Easy to revoke • Limit ability to modify existing

resources

Pitfalls – Infrastructure Issues Waste time troubleshooting • Traditional resources difficult to

change • Could not duplicate environments • Scale achieved vertically

Solution: Dynamic Infrastructure • Cloud resources can be disposable • Easily snapshot environments • Scale achieved horizontally

Pitfalls – Waterfall Design Hesitate to start • Old procurement process forced

organizations to plan extensively before deploying a new environment.

• Incorrectly over/under provisioning would destroy schedules and balloon budgets

Solution: Deploy a sandbox now • Inverse is true on AWS, your test

environment will inform you about provisioning for production

• Low cost and disposable infrastructure makes it easy to find the correct size

Best Practices • IAM users • Utilize AWS tags • Automate via AWS CloudFormation

IAM users • Start with a single IAM user with full admin rights • Assign IAM to departments, projects and users • Track and manage activity

Utilize AWS tags • Use AWS tags everywhere • Sprawl is inevitable, avoid it by tracking objects

back to department, projects and users • Name tags intelligently

Automate via AWS CloudFormation • Use AWS CloudFormation to create repeatable,

rubber stamped environments to achieve uniformity and reduce redundant work efforts

• Use tools to manage approved environments – Sharepoint / Wiki – Source control – 2W Atlas Enterprise (details later)

Path Ahead • As 2013 comes to a close, Enterprise IT has to decide between

investing more in data centers or moving applications to cloud infrastructure.

• The information technology industry is undergoing a global transformation not seen since the personal computer changed business computing.

• Soon, the only cloud uncertainty enterprises will have left to overcome will be what to do with the money they save.

2W Atlas Enterprise Visualize the AWS Cloud

2W Atlas Enterprise

Visualize AWS CloudFormation Templates – inventory of deployed AWS cloud architectures that simplifies the management of deployments, ensures proper IT governance and audit capabilities of individual resources.

Build and Deploy Quickly – organize resources and costs by business unit, project or end user. This ensures that cloud architectures are compliant with IT policies and standards, enables programmatic and repeatable deployments, and facilitates quicker and lower cost deployment of systems and applications.

Control and Allocate Costs – integration with 2nd Watch’s leading cloud billing and management software, 2W Insight to simplify the costing of AWS resources by providing running cost estimation prior to deployment, resource allocations and charge backs by project, business unit and/or user.
