    The increase of public cloud adoption by organisations has drastically increased over the past decade or so. Taking advantage of being able to provision infrastructure as code to improve velocity and provide end-deliverables to customers faster has been one of the key drivers of moving to public cloud providers. However not every story has been positive, and we often hear news about organisations that encountered system breakdowns, data leaks or hackers that gained access to systems which were hosted in public cloud platforms. This is primarily due to several key factors but one of the main contributors is not having a solid base platform which essentially is the foundation that application workloads are built upon. Lack of automation to consistently and efficiently manage configuration across a cloud platform is the main pain point most organisations experience which often results in poor governance, security compliance and cost control. As a consequence, the importance of setting up cloud foundations in public cloud providers has become a top priority for many organisations.

    AWS Foundations is Consultek’s platform as a service (PaaS) offering that accelerates the setup of an enterprise grade platform on AWS which is secure, scalable, robust and cost-effective. It enables organisations to kickstart their cloud journey and allows them to start focusing on building and/or migrating applications into AWS without having to worry about underlying base cloud platform pre-requisites such as security, compliance, governance, networking etc. Consultek’s proprietary AWS Foundations architecture are acknowledged by AWS professional services and designed in-line with AWS best practices which are constantly updated as AWS services evolve over time. An example showcase is the AWS Security Hub Automated Remediation Response solution which comes in-built as part of a larger array of smart solutions implemented via AWS Foundations.

    Implementation of AWS foundations can be achieved in a matter of days depending on customisations and external factors that are not within our control such as AWS SSO IDP integrations, AWS site-to-site VPN connections or AWS DirectConnect connections. We provide knowledge transfer sessions throughout the build process to ensure smooth handover of operations. However, the reality is AWS services evolve and mature overtime. Therefore, it is critical that organisations continue to invest in overall upkeep and hygiene post any cloud foundations implementation. If on-going maintenance and/or management of AWS Foundations platform is a potential concern, then worry less because we have a wide range of support options that will satisfy your requirements.

    Why choose Consultek's AWS Foundations?

    Features

    Every organisation has its own unique requirements and challenges. AWS foundations provide an automated end-to-end framework which can be fully customised as per requirement specifications. It offers capability to simplify orchestration, configuration and management of complex solutions that expands across multiple AWS accounts and regions. This is a key differentiator to most other platform as a service (PaaS) or software as a service (SaaS) offerings which only focuses on generic solutions and/or limited customisation capabilities.

    Enterprise Security

    AWS Foundations provide a security framework and guardrails to ensure any AWS account and/or service is provisioned as per industry security benchmark standards provided by AWS. It has smarts in-built to auto remediate misconfigured AWS resources such as S3 buckets, EC2 Security Groups and so forth which are most vulnerable to cyber-attacks that often leads to data compromise and unrestricted access to internal systems.

    Plug & Play

    AWS Foundations comes built ready which can be implemented in days. This enables organisations to start focusing on application builds and/or migrations in the AWS ecosystem while ensuring all governance and security compliance controls are in place.

    Cost Effective

    AWS Foundations uses cloud native patterns for build orchestration and deployment which reduces overhead cost in operations and on-going maintenance since it does not rely on commercial third-party products, tools and/or resources.

    Return on Investment

    How much does it cost?

    AWS Foundations is priced very competitive at a fixed cost. There are no hidden or ongoing fees except for usual AWS runtime costs billed directly by AWS that will vary and depend on the implementation. Delivering is important to us, hence no upfront payment is required. This eliminates any risk from your side, and we focus on delivering our goals. Payment is required only when all milestones are delivered and handover is completed.

    Hyper care

    What does support look like?

    We provide one month of hyper care upon completion of project deliverables focusing on knowledge transfer to future-proof and ensure your operations run seamlessly post-implementation. Take advantage of our optional managed services to enjoy a peace of mind and hassle free experience by letting us take ownership of code uplift, maintenance and servicing all incoming requests pertaining to AWS Foundations.
