Who Are Cloud Consultants?

Cloud consultants help businesses plan, build, optimize, and manage environments on AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. Their responsibilities include:

  1. Architecture design: building scalable, secure cloud systems.
  2. Migrations: moving apps, databases, and infrastructure to the cloud.
  3. Automation: IaC, CI/CD, configuration management.
  4. Cost optimization: reducing cloud spend across compute, storage, and networking.
  5. Security: IAM, encryption, governance, monitoring, compliance.
  6. CloudOps: ongoing support, performance tuning, incident handling.

 Their goal is to make cloud environments efficient, secure, and cost-effective.

Cloud Adoption Frameworks

Cloud Adoption Frameworks help companies plan structured, secure cloud adoption. Key pillars across all three clouds:

  1. Strategy: business goals, outcomes, KPIs.
  2. Plan: readiness assessments, roadmap, skills.
  3. Ready: landing zone, identity, networking, security baseline.
  4. Migrate/Innovate: move workloads or build new cloud-native systems.
  5. Govern: policies, controls, compliance, cost management.
  6. Manage: operations, monitoring, reliability.

CAF ensures migrations and deployments are consistent and enterprise-grade.

Cloud Governance Best Practices

  1. Identity & Access: enforce least privilege, MFA, role separation.
  2. Resource organization: accounts, subscriptions, folders, projects.
  3. Policies: guardrails for security, tagging, allowed resources.
  4. Cost controls: budgets, alerts, chargeback, tagging standards.
  5. Security baseline: encryption, logging, network segmentation.
  6. Monitoring & compliance: continuous audits and drift detection.

 Governance ensures secure, predictable, and compliant cloud operations.

Multi-Cloud Pros & Cons
