Best practice governance and remediation policies
Cloud environment review to drive cost efficiencies
NEC Optimise the Cloud service reviews the fundamental optimisation targets within either your Azure or AWS Cloud environment and then outlines best practice governance and remediation policies to ensure inherent cost efficiency across your organisation from application development, through to production operational management.
The service focuses on delivering real benefits by discovering, analysing and reporting on cost optimisation targets. Using continuous monitoring of Azure & AWS service performance metrics enables identification of idle, unused, un-optimised or underutilised services. The identified services can then be remediated using policy-based workflows used to continually optimise services.
Areas for Optimisation
NEC Cloud Architects will deliver a Recommendations Report detailing suggested optimisation targets. Areas for optimisation that may be reviewed and discussed upon completion of the environment assessment for targeted remediation after consultation with the customer stakeholders are as follows:
Resource tagging and tagging automation review
Idle, unused, underutilised resource configurations
Power scheduling optimisation - start / stop automation
Reserved instance
mismatch resolution
Disconnected services identification
Idle services reporting
for remediation
Reserved instance time commitment
Rightsizing analysis and remediation
Reserved instance
type
Snaphot and Private AMI retention
Stopped services
(storage)
multi-snapshot
duplication
