Twiga Foods faced significant challenges in managing their cloud operations due to the lack of a robust governance framework. Byimplementing a comprehensive cloud operations solution on AWS, Twiga Foodsachieved improved governance.

‍

Challenges

Twiga Foods, a leading distributor of agricultural produce,experienced challenges in managing their expanding cloud infrastructure. The rapid growth of their cloud environment led to difficulties in governance,including inconsistent resource tagging, lack of cost visibility, and inadequate security controls. These challenges resulted in increased operational risks, higher costs, and difficulties in scaling their operations efficiently.

How Qucoon Helped

To address these challenges, a multi-faceted cloudoperations solution was implemented on AWS, focusing on enhancing governance,security, and cost management. The solution architecture included the followingkey components:

1. Centralized Governance Framework: AWS Organizations andService Control Policies (SCPs) were used to enforce consistent governance across all AWS accounts. This allowed Twiga Foods to standardize policies,automate account provisioning, and implement guardrails for security and compliance.
2. Cost Management and Optimization: AWS Cost Explorer and AWSBudgets were leveraged to gain visibility into cloud spending. Automatedtagging policies were enforced using AWS Config to ensure accurate costallocation and reporting.
3. Security and Compliance: AWS Security Hub and AWS Config were used to continuously monitor compliance against industry standards and internal policies. Identity and Access Management (IAM) roles were restructuredfor least privilege access, and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) was enforced across all accounts.
4. Operational Efficiency: AWS Systems Manager was utilized to automate routine operational tasks, including patch management, configuration compliance, and resource inventory tracking. This reduced manual intervention and improved operational efficiency.

Outcome

The implementation of the cloud operations solution led toseveral key outcomes:

1. Enhanced Governance: Twiga Foods achieved consistentgovernance across all AWS accounts, reducing the risk of misconfigurations andnon-compliance.
2. Cost Savings: The implementation of cost management toolsand policies led to a 20% reduction in unnecessary cloud spending, optimizingthe overall budget.
3. Improved Security Posture: The adoption of security bestpractices and continuous compliance monitoring reduced the number of securityincidents by 30%.
4. Operational Efficiency: Automation of routine tasksdecreased operational overhead by 25%, allowing the IT team to focus onstrategic initiatives.
