Improve availability and ensure resiliency in the cloud with Firemind. In collaboration with Amazon Web Services.
Firemind is delighted to provide resiliency design services, helping our customers build cloud architectures for business-critical workloads that are sensitive to unplanned downtime.
We help ensure availability and continuity, for a wide range of customers, by building a DevOps resilient practice.
Dramatically improve your capability to recover when your cloud environments are stressed by load.
As your business scales, you’ll want the peace of mind that your cloud infrastructure can handle whatever is thrown at it. At Firemind, we prioritise resilience in our design, enabling your organisation to scale, as we monitor and protect.
Our experience and resiliency knowledge has helped us detect and prevent countless spikes that could have affected business-critical workloads.
High availability
Resilient cloud architectures leverage AWS services such as Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling, Amazon Elastic Load Balancing, and Amazon Route 53 to distribute traffic and workload across multiple availability zones or regions. This ensures that your applications remain available even if one or more components or infrastructure instances fail. By designing for high availability, we minimise downtime and provide a consistent user experience.
Tolerance and Redundancy
AWS provides various services that enable fault tolerance and redundancy. For example, Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) automatically replicates data across multiple AZs, providing durability and availability. Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS) offers Multi-AZ deployments, which replicate your database in different AZs for automatic failover in case of a primary instance failure.
Scalability and Elasticity
AWS allows you to easily scale your resources up or down based on demand. Services like Amazon EC2 Auto Scaling and AWS Elastic Beanstalk automatically adjust your infrastructure capacity to handle workload fluctuations. By leveraging auto scaling groups and load balancers, we can distribute traffic and resources efficiently, ensuring that your applications can handle sudden spikes in user activity without experiencing performance degradation or failure.
Disaster Recovery
AWS offers several services and features for implementing robust disaster recovery (DR) strategies. Services like AWS Backup, AWS Storage Gateway, and AWS Disaster Recovery provide options for data backup, replication, and failover to remote regions. By implementing DR solutions on AWS, we can protect your applications and data against catastrophic events, ensuring business continuity and minimising downtime.
Cost Optimisation
Resilient architectures on AWS can contribute to cost optimisation. By leveraging elasticity and auto scaling capabilities, we can align your resource allocation with actual demand, eliminating over-provisioning and reducing unnecessary costs. Additionally, AWS offers pricing models, such as AWS Reserved Instances and Savings Plans, that provide cost savings for long-term commitments, allowing us to optimise your infrastructure costs.
Automation and IaC
AWS provides powerful automation and infrastructure as code (IaC) capabilities through services like AWS CloudFormation, AWS Systems Manager, and AWS OpsWorks. By adopting infrastructure as code practices, we can define your cloud environment in code, version control it, and deploy it consistently. This approach allows for reproducibility, scalability, and easier management of resilient architectures, making it simpler to maintain and update your infrastructure.
