Once your applications are migrated, you can immediately take advantage of the cloud’s flexible operational model.
To do this your teams will need to:
Rightsize your application footprint.
Over time, you’ll learn (for example) what the optimal VM instance type is for your application – and choosing the right one can save a lot of money.
Leverage scale up and scale down.
Add more instances of your application in high-traffic periods (like the end of a quarter); then scale down as the traffic lessens.
Unlike in the data center — where you have to provision for the maximum load — in AWS, you scale appropriately to the load. This saves money in slack times and serves users well in high-traffic times.
Adopt new development and deployment processes
Embed operations, security and even financial professionals in your development teams – creating DevOps, DevSecOps and FinOps.
Make your applications observable
Use AWS CloudWatch and embed vulnerability testing as part of the development cycle. Continuously adjust configurations for the best costs.
Enhance the security of your applications
Using mature AWS tools, such AWS Shield, AWS Secrets Manager and AWS CloudTrail.
