What are the benefits of getting a cloud checkup:

Now that you know what a checkup is and its importance, let’s have a look at the first three major benefits to it:

1. 1. Cost management
      

      When it comes to cost management, if you’re not aware of your spending, it’s easy to go over budget. That’s where a checkup report comes in. As it lets you see where you may be wasting resources and shows you opportunities for re-sizing to save cost. This ensures cost efficiency for your business needs now and in the future.

      As an example, our report uses your past data to produce a comprehensive report into your resources and spending. It pinpoints wasted resources and highlights re-sizing recommendations to optimize your cloud spending across your infrastructure. Not only that, but it will include insights into how you can scale up in the future while maintaining cost efficiency.

   2. Improve security
      

      Today’s digital landscape is fast-moving and constantly changing. Which makes it hard to stay on top of your security and be vigilant of any new threats and risks to your cloud. A regular checkup on your cloud highlights where security might be lacking and vulnerabilities in your infrastructure giving you peace of mind.

      Our free checkup provides you with a gap analysis into your security. It identifies opportunities to better configure your infrastructure to mitigate issues and risks. With hundreds of checks across 35 different standards, you can rest assured that your infrastructure is secure.

   3. Compliance with AWS Well-Architected Framework
      

      Businesses find it difficult to maintain cloud compliance, especially the ones in highly regulated industries. One aspect of a checkup report is to evaluate your infrastructure across multiple checkpoints. The goal is to make sure it is in accordance with AWS Well-Architected Framework standards. This way your cloud architecture stays updated on any new regulations and best practices that come up.

      Our AWS checkup includes a comprehensive check on your cloud across 35 major regulatory standards, including PCI DSS, HIPAA, CIS, and more. It makes sure that your cloud is following the AWS Well-Architected Framework best practices.

A checkup pinpoints issues before they escalate and cause failures for your cloud.  In conclusion, it pays to get a detailed checkup on your cloud’s health occasionally.
