The challenge

Implementing AWS with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) brings its own set of challenges, regardless of the specific tool used such as Terraform, AWS CloudFormation or Azure Resource Manager.

Some common challenges include

  • Complexity and learning curve
  • Managing state and drift
  • Abstraction and vendor lock-in
  • Dynamic and evolving cloud services
  • Testing and validation
  • Security and compliance
  • Collaboration and version control

To address these challenges, it is essential to invest in proper training, adopt best practices, leverage community resources, and stay up to date with cloud provider documentation and updates. Building a solid foundation in infrastructure as code principles and establishing clear processes for collaboration, testing, and state management can help mitigate these challenges and ensure successful implementation of infrastructure in the cloud.

The solution

TC2 selected Terraform – Terragrunt technology as a default IaC platform for implementing customer’s AWS infrastructure. The main reason behind the decision was Terraform’s cloud agnosticity where most customers need multicloud infrastructure with a common IaC CICD management.
In recent years TC2 developed and maintain >80 Terraform component modules for quick environment install, configuration and easy maintenance.
As the IaC technology became as a software to keep it customer standard, up-to-date with the latest AWS developments, it requires a standard SDLC (software development life cycle) management with Terraform component modules maintenance. Throughout the SDLC proper documentation, version control, and collaboration among devops team members are essential.
In AWS IaC based implementation projects, TC2 will deliver not only the infrastructure implementation, IaC code but extensive training to customer devops staff also for easy hand-over and operation/support to customer side.

24/7 Managed Services

Although operation and support go hand in hand, ensuring the proper and efficient functioning of the system does not require 24/7 service, in contrast to support, whose failure-related tasks - troubleshooting, fault escalation, problem management, disaster prevention - require high availability due to their criticality. And of course, a 24/7 on-call support according to ITIL regulations requires at least 5 qualified support professionals due to the 3 shifts, vacations, and illnesses. And the majority of customers rarely have this number of employees, especially in the field of cloud-based computing, which is still new today but is emerging.

SAP on AWS

SAP systems play a key role in the everyday processes of many companies worldwide. They require special hardware and extremely high availability being business-critical systems. With the introduction of the SAP HANA database and the retirement of SAP support for alternative databases, it will be essential for hundreds of companies to switch platforms in the next 5-10 years. However, this can be a risky project in a traditional environment because of the magnitude of hardware estimation, acquisition, and lifecycle tracking.
