What separates a basic cloud deployment from a robust, well-architected cloud infrastructure? The key elements are security, reliability, performance optimization, and cost-effectiveness.
At Sakura Sky, we harness the power of the established Google Cloud Architecture Framework to provide a strong foundation for building and enhancing your cloud deployments.
Our strategy revolves around four cardinal principles.
The pursuit of operational excellence in the cloud involves the adoption of practices that streamline operations, enhance productivity, and reduce costs. We guide our clients on how to make strategic design choices to augment operational efficiency in their cloud environments. This encompasses suggestions for automating the build process, to rapidly and consistently deliver high-quality software, implementing comprehensive monitoring for full visibility into your operations, and devising robust disaster recovery plans to safeguard your mission-critical data and systems.
A secure cloud is the foundation of a resilient business. Our approach provides guidance on the selection of appropriate security controls that align with the specific needs of your deployments. We help identify the right mix of products and features to bolster your infrastructure’s security posture while ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements. This includes securing data in transit and at rest, managing access control, and adopting practices for ongoing security and compliance management.
Reliability in a cloud context means ensuring your solutions are available, resilient, and robust. We emphasize creating reliable and highly available cloud solutions that maintain business continuity even in the face of unexpected disruptions. Our strategies include defining reliability goals, enhancing your approach to observability with sophisticated monitoring systems, establishing an efficient incident management function to handle any operational anomalies promptly, and utilizing techniques that reduce the operational burden on your teams.
Achieving a balance between performance and cost is crucial for any cloud deployment. We offer insights into using various tools to refine your applications for superior end-user experience and analyze the operational costs on Google Cloud. Our goal is to help you maintain an optimal level of service while minimizing expenditure. This includes advice on how to efficiently use cloud resources, autoscaling strategies to meet demand, and tools to monitor and control costs.
