A global leader in building and deploying Amazon Web Services (AWS)-based IT operations for the enterprise

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 CloudFormation

• Use 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 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.
