CI/CD pipelines are the means by which development teams continuously deliver and integrate applications. It is a strenuous process that requires iterations and constant adjustments before rolling out updates. The time to deploy can be shortened significantly through the use of automated testing and provisioning.
Ideally, optimization of an AWS environment should be a one-and-done task, but there are plenty of risk factors to consider and sufficient room to forget. High risk issues (HRIs) are architectural and operational decisions that could very easily negatively impact how a business works. Even with in-house help with the automated assistant tools, it is best practice to have manual third-party help to best optimize for individual needs and requirements the business may have.
As newer users adopt the AWS cloud, it can be difficult to watch for issues and resolve them as needed. AWS Systems Manager grants better visibility over the AWS environment by clustering resources, providing legible and usable data based on performance, and actions to take that abide by AWS compliance requirements and best practices. This service provides everything management needs to evaluate the cloud and ensure continued functionality.
The AWS Well-Architected Framework is a set of standards for best practices designed to maximize efficiency, stability, security, and resilience on the platform. These are some incredibly difficult standards to achieve and it is ideal to seek help from a third party to review the infrastructure. Amazon does provide additional tools for helping to verify that an environment does meet standards.
While the Amazon Cloud at large is meant to be flexible in how it is applied, there are a number of services that are more directly tailored to specific industries. The financial industry for example has solutions set out to help them merge their usual operations with the benefits cloud technology can provide. It has provided many companies with the capability to adapt to new regulations and further optimize their existing services.While the Amazon Cloud at large is meant to be flexible in how it is applied, there are a number of services that are more directly tailored to specific industries.

High control and governance is a large focal point of Amazon’s Cloud services. Another solid service for maintaining the wellbeing and compliance of any AWS service is Control Tower, helping to further simplify governance with enough room to integrate third-party software for scaling. AWS Control Tower main function is for the construction and monitoring of new AWS environments regardless of size and complexity.
The main purpose of the AWS Virtual Private Cloud is to keep any devices that want to avoid unauthorized access outside of public reach. Certain applications and top-priority data is kept explicitly within a confined network defined by the permissions the users set for the organization. However, there are a number of potential vulnerabilities that could occur that are all based on user-error and improper configuration of the VPC. AWS operates on shared responsibility and it’s partially down to the user to uphold their half.
Most modern applications generate logs for all activities consisting of metadata regarding what was done. These provide crucial insight to the application’s health and can show when the system’s functionality has been compromised. Additionally, the data collected can provide knowledge on developing interests from application users. The main issue lies in the fact that an application can churn out thousands of logs over the course of its use which can easily prevent either of these bits of knowledge from seeing potential use. Hence the need for central log management.
Cybercrime is a perpetually evolving threat that demands the most out of companies’ ability to adapt in turn. There are a variety of threats present that can damage a company in a variety of ways from siphoning critical information off to unwanted third parties to damaging company equipment or putting information behind a paywall. Even for those who aren’t security specialists, having a basic grasp of these concepts is important to have.
Microsoft and Google may be some of the biggest names struggling to overtake Amazon’s dominance of the cloud service market, but they aren’t the only names. Since 2009, Alibaba has had its own cloud computing platform with ventures into ecommerce data mining and processing and currently stands as the fifth largest company in artificial intelligence development. For now, we’ll be comparing Alibaba with some of its more immediate competition to put things into proper perspective.
