Cloud Standup:
a consistent process to ensure maximum value from cloud investments.
The dynamic nature of cloud workloads requires implementing a continuous improvement process to ensure that the value of the cloud is being realized.
As part of the Cloud Standup process, ITZ Data solutions architects continuously analyze the customer's cloud platform and meet on a biweekly basis with leaders from the development and operations teams to report on the status of systems, identify improvement opportunities and follow up on ongoing initiatives.
The following areas are addressed:
- Cloud spend with ITZ Billing (FinOps).
- Alerts and monitoring service configuration for performance and availability.
- Infrastructure operations component analysis.
- Security recommendations with AWS Trusted Advisor / AWS Security Hub.
- Resource usage recommendations using AWS Compute Optimizer.
- 24/7 support issues (included).
- New initiatives and projects
By adopting Cloud Standup, organizations establish the right processes to keep their cloud platform optimized, save costs, increase availability and take advantage of innovations happening in the cloud.
Cloud Standup is validated under the AWS Foundational Technical Review for Services.

FAQ
Cloud Standup is geared towards companies and institutions who have some experience working on the cloud (2 or more years) who consider that it is possible to get more value from their investment. These organizations face common challenges such as:
- Cloud spend is going out of control. It is necessary to verify that resources are being spent only on what's necessary.
- There have been service interruptions due to infrastructure issues.
- There is uncertainty about whether recommended security practices are being followed.
- A new project will be deployed to the cloud and specialized assistance is required.
- Etc.
The duration of a Cloud Standup methodology implementation will depend on the size and complexity of the workloads of an organization. A common duration is around 3 months. This is broken up into three phases:
- Execution of a Well-Architected Framework Review (2-3 weeks).
- Presentation of Well-Architected Framework Review and prioritization of improvement initiatives. (1 week).
- Execution of 4 biweekly Cloud Standup sessions (8 weeks).
The cost of Cloud Standup will depend on the size and complexity of the workloads in the implementation scope. A fixed price is quoted based on a maximum of work hours. For more information, reach out to our sales team (hello@itzdata.tech).
