The assessment begins with understanding the organization's current cloud infrastructure, architecture, and configuration. This includes reviewing cloud service providers, deployment models (e.g., public, private, hybrid), networking setup, security measures, and compliance requirements.
Osprey works with organizations to define resilience requirements based on business objectives, criticality of applications, and regulatory obligations. This includes identifying key performance indicators (KPIs), service-level agreements (SLAs), and recovery time objectives (RTOs) for different workloads and services.
Osprey conducts a thorough review of the organization's cloud architecture, including network design, data storage, compute resources, load balancing, and fault tolerance mechanisms. This involves assessing the scalability, availability, and redundancy of cloud resources to ensure they can withstand failures and disruptions.
Osprey evaluates the organization's high availability (HA) and redundancy strategies to ensure continuous operation of critical workloads. This includes assessing the use of redundant components, failover mechanisms, geographic redundancy, and disaster recovery (DR) capabilities to minimize downtime and data loss.
Osprey reviews the organization's cloud security posture to identify vulnerabilities, gaps, and compliance risks. This includes assessing access controls, encryption, identity management, network security, logging, monitoring, and incident response capabilities to protect cloud resources from cyber threats and data breaches.
Osprey analyzes the performance of the organization's cloud infrastructure and applications to identify bottlenecks, latency issues, and optimization opportunities. This involves assessing resource utilization, workload distribution, caching strategies, and optimization techniques to improve performance and efficiency.
Osprey evaluates the organization's cloud spending and cost management practices to identify opportunities for optimization and cost savings. This includes analyzing resource usage, pricing models, reserved instances, and billing practices to optimize cloud spending without compromising performance or resilience.
Osprey assesses the organization's disaster recovery (DR) and backup strategies to ensure data protection and business continuity in the event of disruptions. This includes reviewing backup and recovery procedures, data replication, snapshotting, and DR testing practices to verify resilience and recovery capabilities.
Osprey reviews the organization's cloud compliance and governance practices to ensure adherence to regulatory requirements and industry standards. This includes assessing data privacy measures, compliance controls, audit trails, and documentation practices to demonstrate compliance and mitigate risks.
Based on the assessment findings, Osprey provides recommendations and develops a roadmap for enhancing cloud resilience and architecture. This includes prioritizing action items, defining implementation strategies, and establishing timelines for implementing improvements to strengthen resilience, reliability, and performance.
