Now more than ever, having a secure, high-performing, efficient and robust infrastructure for your applications is crucial when it comes to migrating to cloud. But how, exactly, can you achieve this? There are in fact, no fewer than 5 essential pillars to a well-architected AWS framework. But with them in place, you’ll have a system that will deliver what you need, now and in the future.
The first pillar, unsurprisingly, is security. Protecting customer data is, after all, of paramount importance when planning and performing a workload migration. To that point, it’s good to know that the RiverMeadow SaaS Platform is the ONLY solution on the market that passes all the Amazon Web Services security mandates.
The next pillar is the ability to run and monitor systems so you can achieve the most significant business value possible and as well as process improvements. Operational excellence is perfectly achievable however, by applying a number of design principles.
This pillar relates to a key requirement of the system – the ability to recover from disruption to the service or infrastructure, in order to meet business and customer demand. Obviously crucial to every system, this pillar is also based on applying a set of design principles.
Pillar number four outlines how IT and the computing resources can be used in a way that maximises efficiency. This too can be achieved by adhering to the key principles.
The final pillar is close to the heart of every CFO - the ability to avoid cost and resources over-consumption. Once again, this can be achieved by sticking to 5 principles.
These five pillars are critical to creating a well-architected framework and with a stable foundation your cloud migration journey will have a much greater chance of running smoothly.
To that end, it’s important to know that the RiverMeadow SaaS Cloud Migration platform is based on AWS's best practices. It meets all the AWS framework designs principles and is the only solution that passes all the security mandates, making it the bulletproof migration tool of choice.
