Best Practice: The 5 Pillars of the Cloud Foundation

A stable foundation for youreffective Cloud Journey

The biggest hurdle to cloud transformation is the immense complexity. Technical integration and organizational change must be brought together in a meaningful way. To master this, meshStack is based on the following 5 Cloud Foundation pillars:

Tenant Management

For example, a tenant is an account on AWS, a subscription on Azure, or a project on Google Cloud. A large number of cloud tenants requires good tenant lifecycle management. meshStack enables this across clouds to automate tenant creation and enforce consistent security standards. Goodbye Shadow IT.

Identity & Access Management

Clean management of identities and authorizations in the cloud provider environment is part of a compliant (multi-)cloud strategy. meshStack enables users and roles to be managed consistently across all cloud platforms.

More: Identity & Access Management

Security & Compliance

Comprehensive cloud governance must include cloud security and cloud compliance requirements at its core, while allowing application teams their freedom and autonomy. This includes efficient supply and management of suitable landing zones. For this purpose, meshStack offers the necessary functionalities.

More: Security & Compliance

Cost Management

A successful multi-cloud strategy ensures that all costs are reliably presented and charged. meshStack shows teams the current costs for each project, monitors organizational budgets and supports fully automated billing (chargeback) in the background. Detailed cost and CO2 reporting (when available) enables teams to meet their cost responsibilities.

Service Ecosystem

Organizations using meshStack can seamlessly extend cloud providers’ offerings with organization-specific services (e.g., on-premise connectivity, data services). In the Service Marketplace, teams can offer or consume their own services – in self-service and with integrated cost allocation. This means that a service-based organization can be implemented both technically and economically.

Done

Building and growing your Cloud Foundation can be a challenging undertaking. We will provide a structured approach to guide you through the challenges of building a scalable and secure cloud foundation in the meshPanel. We are excited to offer you an overview of your Cloud Foundation journey, including the milestones you have achieved and the next steps you decided to take to evolve the Cloud Foundation further. We will incorporate the first aspects of the proven Cloud Foundation Maturity Model in the meshPanel providing you an overview of the path forward and the progress you’ve made with meshStack.

We’re excited to introduce advanced lifecycle management capabilities for Building Blocks in meshStack, which will give you greater control and visibility of your Building Blocks with easy maintenance and optimization capabilities.

Building Blocks are a key component of any infrastructure, and as you work with them, you may find opportunities for improvement to make them clearer, more efficient, or faster to execute. Therefore with this update, you will be able to create new versions of your Building Blocks and manage differences between versions transparently. In addition, we also will introduce a new drift detection feature that will help you identify any unintentional or unexpected changes in your infrastructure resources that may have occurred outside of Terraform’s control. This can happen, for example, when a resource has been modified manually in the cloud console or through an API outside of Terraform, or when a resource has been deleted by mistake.

Starting key business initiatives quickly is a critical challenge for application teams across industries. To address this challenge, we’re enhancing the meshPanel’s meshCustomer and meshProject creation flows, allowing application teams to create new tenants seamlessly and start within minutes. Our improved tenant creation process will streamline the setup of secure tenants, allowing you to take advantage of your cloud-native workload with ease and confidence. With a more streamlined onboarding experience, your team can focus on accelerating your business initiatives!

Some examples:

– We will rework the way you add team members to a meshCustomer and meshProject to make it more intuitive
– We will make meshCustomer and meshProject Access Roles intuitive and the selection process easier
– We will simplify the tenant creation process by streamlining essential information and removing irrelevant ones

and more.

We are currently working on the integration of Building Blocks into our Landing Zones and creation flows. This will enable application teams to consume prepared Building Blocks seamlessly as part of existing project and tenant creation flows. Building Blocks form a secure foundation for cloud deployments, available in a self-service portal for application teams. By using pre-built Building Blocks, teams can reduce time and effort in building and testing custom infrastructure code, while ensuring high levels of security and compliance. This integration will enable faster and more efficient deployment of applications that meet the highest standards of reliability and scalability.

As a member of the application team, you may want to add a simple VM to your cloud tenant. However, before doing so, you need to ensure that you have a network in place to access the VM. This can be compared to building a house where you need a street (network) first before constructing the house (VM).

To facilitate this process, we plan to introduce Building Block Definitions that can be interdependent, allowing you to specify dependencies between Building Blocks. By doing so, you can ensure that the necessary Building Blocks are in place before proceeding with adding a new one. This approach will provide application teams with clear transparency regarding the requirements of each Building Block and reduce any friction encountered when setting up new tenants or adding Building Blocks to an existing tenant.

We have delivered a major milestone to simplify building cloud infrastructure: the seamless integration of Terraform modules in meshStack. With this new integration, you can now effortlessly leverage existing Terraform modules to set up compliant tenants in a secure fashion. Additionally, you can provide a use case-tailored configuration that speeds up applications teams in developing their application. The integration process will be straightforward. Simply provide a link to existing Terraform modules.

We will also provide the option to offer manual building blocks before you can automatically roll out the configuration. This will provide you the possibility to offer a building block that when used triggers a notification to an admin who will perform manual steps.

We believe this integration will provide a major boost in rolling out your cloud foundation building blocks, making all applications benefit from secure and compliant cloud environments. Thereby saving you time and resources and allowing you to focus on what matters – building your application.

We have successfully rolled out the Cloud Universe! It provides users with a consolidated view of their entire cloud foundation in one place, making it easy to access important information on cost and cloud tenants through charts and other actionable data points. Our objective is to empower cloud foundation teams to quickly understand their cloud foundation and take necessary actions. Cloud Foundation at a Glance streamlines cloud management by allowing users to monitor and optimize their cloud resources more efficiently. We believe this new functionality will enhance the cloud management experience for our users. Try it out today and simplify your cloud management.

You can now effortlessly manage a GDPR-compliant user life cycle in meshStack. Say goodbye to manual processes for GDPR compliance, as meshStack now offers an automated way to synchronize users from a central source of truth to meshStack. This new functionality enables organizations using meshStack in all SaaS and Enterprise plans to enjoy the comfort of an automated user lifecycle.

To achieve this, meshStack leverages the widely adopted System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) standard. SCIM is supported by a wide variety of Identity Providers out of the box, making it even easier to stay compliant without any manual intervention.
