4. Choose Your First Use Case Well 1

5. Chose Your First Use Case Well Make your first project a S.M.A.R.T one

6. Chose Your First Use Case Well Dev & Test Spin environments up and down on demand Decouple development and test environments from operations constraints Explore elasticity in a sandboxed environment Make your first project a S.M.A.R.T one

7. Chose Your First Use Case Well Dev & Test Spin environments up and down on demand Decouple development and test environments from operations constraints Explore elasticity in a sandboxed environment Backup & DR Take part of your data or business applications step- by-step into non- production DR use Understand cloud dynamics and test during controlled failover Make your first project a S.M.A.R.T one

9. Chose Your First Use Case Well Dev & Test Spin environments up and down on demand Decouple development and test environments from operations constraints Explore elasticity in a sandboxed environment Backup & DR Take part of your data or business applications step- by-step into non- production DR use Understand cloud dynamics and test during controlled failover Greenfield Project Embody best practice of cloud computing in unconstrained greenfield projects Self contained web projects, document archiving etc Pain point Move specific service aspects causing undue cost or management burden Workflows, search indexing, media streaming, document archiving, constrained databases Make your first project a S.M.A.R.T one

10. Plan Evolution and Set Goals Understand services Test performance Architect for scale Develop team capabilities Implement monitoring Change control and management Security management Scalability Automate corrective actions Auto-scaling Zero downtime deployments System backup and recovery Proof of Concept Production Automation SampleActivities

11. Lay Out Your Foundations 2

12. Accounts Create an account structure that makes sense Use accounts like environments where you need separation and control e.g. Dev Sandboxes Test Environments Business Units Products & Services Lay Out Your Foundations

13. BillingAccounts Create an account structure that makes sense Use accounts like environments where you need separation and control e.g. Dev Sandboxes Test Environments Business Units Products & Services Control access to billing information Use IAM users to keep billing information in the master account Consolidate billing into a single account Let one account pick up the bill for multiple ‘sub accounts’ Setup billing alerts and automated bill reporting Get CloudWatch notifications when billing reaches a point and output csv reports to S3 for analysis Lay Out Your Foundations

14. Enable delivery of billing reports with resources & tags Billing preferences Billing Settings

23. 3rd Party Cost Management Tools

24. Access KeysBillingAccounts Create an account structure that makes sense Use accounts like environments where you need separation and control e.g. Dev Sandboxes Test Environments Business Units Products & Services Control access to billing information Use IAM users to keep billing information in the master account Consolidate billing into a single account Let one account pick up the bill for multiple ‘sub accounts’ Setup billing alerts and automated bill reporting Get CloudWatch notifications when billing reaches a point and output csv reports to S3 for analysis Decide upon a key management strategy Control access to EC2 instances via SSH and embedded public key: e.g. EC2 Key Pair per group of instances, EC2 Key Pair per account Consider SSH key rotation & automation Limit exposure to private key compromise by rotating keys and replacing authorized_keys listings on running instances Consider bootstrap automation to grant developer access with developer unique keypairs Lay Out Your Foundations

25. Groups & RolesAccess KeysBillingAccounts Create an account structure that makes sense Use accounts like environments where you need separation and control e.g. Dev Sandboxes Test Environments Business Units Products & Services Control access to billing information Use IAM users to keep billing information in the master account Consolidate billing into a single account Let one account pick up the bill for multiple ‘sub accounts’ Setup billing alerts and automated bill reporting Get CloudWatch notifications when billing reaches a point and output csv reports to S3 for analysis Decide upon a key management strategy Control access to EC2 instances via SSH and embedded public key: e.g. EC2 Key Pair per group of instances, EC2 Key Pair per account Consider SSH key rotation & automation Limit exposure to private key compromise by rotating keys and replacing authorized_keys listings on running instances Consider bootstrap automation to grant developer access with developer unique keypairs Use IAM Groups to manage console users and API access Provide developers with IAM user login and unique API access credentials Control & restrict what IAM users can do by placing them in groups with associated policies Assign EC2 Instances IAM roles Let AWS manage API access credentials on running instances by assigning a system entitlement to an instance e.g. instance can only read S3 bucket Lay Out Your Foundations

26. Identity & Access Management - IAM Account ApplicationsAdministrators Developers Jim Gavin Steve Nigel Stephen Ingest Console Reporting

29. IAM Policies { "Statement": [ { "Effect": "Allow", "Action": [ "elasticbeanstalk:*", "ec2:*", "elasticloadbalancing:*", "autoscaling:*", "cloudwatch:*", "s3:*", "sns:*" ], "Resource": "*" } ] } Create a policy to assign permissions to a user, group, role or resource. Policies are created using JSON. A policy consists of one or more statements, each of which describes one set of permissions. Policies control access to AWS APIs

34. Understand your customer & determine your security stance Engage with security assessors early in your adoption cycle Leverage AWS Security Don’t fear assessment – AWS meets high standards (PCI DSS, ISO27001) Security assessments take time, so allow for this in your planning Undertake architecture reviews early in your design/deployment process

35. Understand your customer & determine your security stance Engage with security assessors early in your adoption cycle Use comprehensive materials and certifications provided by AWS Leverage AWS Security For more details on AWS Security, visit: aws.amazon.com/security Risk and compliance white paper AWS security processes white paper CSA consensus assessments initiative questionnaire (requires NDA)

40. Optimise Your Costs 5

41. Use the Right Instance Types Use Auto Scaling Turn Off Unused Instances Use Reserved Instances 1 2 3 4 Use Spot Instances5 Use Storage Classes6 Offload Your Architecture7 Use Services, Not Software8 Use Consolidated Billing9 Use Cost Management Tools10

42. Use Tools & Frameworks 6

43. Access everything via CLI, API or Console Use one of 9 (soon to be 10) fully supported SDKs to create or make use of existing AWS resources within your own code Leverage a broad ecosystem of open source, free and commercially licensed tools to work with AWS Services Achieve the highest levels of automation to support continuous deployment, define your infrastructure-as-code or automate your development, operations or DevOps processes Find out more at: aws.amazon.com/developers/getting-started/ Everything is Programmable
