The increasing costs of cloud waste
Cloud Waste is a common problem that has persisted for years. Research reveals that Organisations waste 20% - 35% of cloud spending due to limited visibility, policy challenges, and poor resource tracking.
Gartner predicted overprovisioning of 55% and overspending of 70% for organisations performing lift-and-shift to cloud IaaS without optimisation infrastructure in 2017. Global spending on cloud services was projected to reach $495 billion in 2022. Cloud waste will only increase as cloud usage surges, straining company budgets.
Unnecessary Cloud Costs Manifest in Various Ways
High Costs
Many companies struggle to keep track of their infrastructure, leading to common issues such as idle resources, over-provisioning, and orphaned resources.
Decreased Productivity
The inability to reuse resources hinders collaboration and efficiency among developers. Additionally, manual checks are necessary to prevent developers from provisioning unnecessary and expensive infrastructure.
Risk
Poor governance and oversight can cause risks at an enterprise level, including non-standardized infrastructure deployment and no single source of truth.
Introducing Terraform
Your Solution to Reduce Cloud Waste
Terraform is an open-source Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tool developed by HashiCorp. It allows you to define and write infrastructure resources as code that can be deployed anywhere.
Terraform Cloud and Terraform Enterprise are the two leading infrastructure provisioning and management solutions from Hashicorp. Regardless of your organisation's size or industry, both platforms offer tailored features to address different needs.
Terraform Cloud
is a great tool for teams just starting or already deep in infrastructure automation. With an intuitive user interface and collaborative features, Terraform Cloud empowers organisations to collaborate seamlessly on infrastructure projects. Whether you are a small team or a growing company, this cloud-based offering allows you to leverage the power of Infrastructure as Code (IaC) effortlessly.
Terraform Enterprise
is the self-hosted version that caters to the unique demands of larger organisations. Terraform Enterprise offers advanced governance, compliance, and security features, enabling enterprises to maintain control over their infrastructure while scaling their automation efforts.
CLOUD / ENTERPRISE
Terraform Starter Package
Our out-of-the-box packages are designed to jumpstart your adoption of Terraform Cloud or Terraform Enterprise. We handle the initial setup and integrate TFC/TFE with your existing IDP, AWS accounts, and version control system.
Step 1: Discovery Call
During this meeting, we will introduce ourselves and discuss the implementation details of SAML SSO, Git Connection, and AWS Credential Flow. We will also define the initial five workspaces and identify any potential blockers that may arise.
Step 2: Implementation
We build the platform with Integration of IDP (SAML) or setup of an internal Authentication System. Incorporating OIDC authentication with AWS IDP for multi-account short-lived credentials, with Git as the source system, we establish an initial organizational structure. While TFC does not require maintaining the platform the TFE package is including the setup of TFE in your AWS account.
Step 3: Migration of Workspaces
We set up VCS Workflow for 5 workspaces, migrate 5 workspaces to TFC and conduct Workflow testing.
Step 4: Documentation
We create documentation for the setup process and also produce architecture diagrams.
Step 5: Handover
We provide a complete handover, including TFC setup and Test workflows. We discuss the current documentation and plan the necessary next steps.
