Best practices
for cloud operations

Implement tagging strategies

Develop a consistent tagging strategy in order to be able to report on infrastructure impacts to business units, teams, departments, applications or projects.

Define and document

Define and document what your organization considers to be standard configurations for infrastructure. Areas to consider include region, infrastructure types, OS, as well as high/low watermarks for underutilized infrastructure.

Encourage optimizations

Motivate and incentivize teams to take steps to optimize. An effective tactic for changing behavior is to show teams when there is an opportunity to optimize and what the outcome would be.

Automate actions

Implement policies and configure automated actions to reclaim employee time for more strategic tasks.

Enhance alerts and reporting

Integrate alerts and reports into tools that you already use across provisioning and orchestration, configuration management and monitoring.
