Value Added to Your Azure Cloud

Here at Transparity, our first step is to ensure we understand your goals as the customer, ensuring that our review is analysing both against best practices and your needs and wants. Once we have access to the environment, a thorough review is undertaken and a RAG report is provided. At that point, we can hand over to you for implementation or undertake the changes ourselves.

During the implementation stage, we will systematically address each item in the RAG report to ensure all elements achieve green status. The final and most crucial phase involves establishing guardrails to sustain these best practices, ensuring that subsequent changes do not compromise the improvements made.

Reliability Improvements

Review and enhance the ability of your systems to recover from failures and continue to function without unnecessary disruption.

Security Improvements

Analyse and address security issues to protect applications and data from threats. This will include areas such as identity management, infrastructure security, application security, data sovereignty and encryption.

Cost Optimisation

Assess and make improvements focused on managing costs to maximise the value your cloud delivers. The output will review cost principles, develop a cost model, create budgets and alerts, and review the cost optimisation checklist.

Operational Excellence

Inspect and implement improvements focused on operational processes that keep your system running in production. This will include best-practice design patterns and the correct use of monitoring and diagnostic tooling.

Performance Efficiency

Examine and amend the ability of your system to adapt to changes in load. This will include areas such as autoscaling and elastically increasing/decreasing resources during periods of fluctuation in platform usage.

“Transparity led us effectively and efficiently through our Azure transition. Initial scoping was conducted in a supportive manner, making allowances for the many unknowns as we began our journey in to a new and uncomfortable area of technology. All my questions were answered quickly and simply, building confidence in my team and I that the move would be smooth. One word: Effective”

The Well-Architected Framework

When building solutions in Azure, you have multiple options for architecture and services. Each project can achieve outcomes in different ways, but all must have a stable foundation.

Just like an architect designs homes to meet varying requirements but with fundamental elements, Azure architecture requires specific foundational areas regardless of your approach.

The Azure Well-Architected Framework provides guidelines focused on five pillars of architectural excellence: reliability, cost-optimisation, operational excellence, performance efficiency and security.

FAQs

Azure optimisation involves the continuous process of reviewing and improving the performance, security, cost, and efficiency of your Azure resources. This includes scaling resources appropriately, utilising reserved instances, implementing cost management practices, and ensuring that the architecture is resilient and secure.

The Well-Architected Framework provides a set of guiding principles and best practices to help architects build and maintain secure, high-performing, resilient, and efficient cloud infrastructures. The framework is designed to ensure that architectures align with key business requirements and objectives, and it covers five pillars: operational excellence, security, reliability, performance efficiency, and cost optimisation.

FinOps, or Financial Operations, is the practice of bringing financial accountability to the variable spend model of cloud computing. It involves cross-functional teams working together to manage and optimise cloud costs through a set of processes, best practices, and tools. The goal of FinOps is to maximise business value while maintaining control over cloud expenditure. Find our more here: Why is FinOps Essential for Your Organisation?
