| Challenge
The Fortune 500 company’s automated mobile workforce management and service optimization solution runs on 10,000+ these EC2 instances spread over 13 accounts in the US: West and Europe regions. Their developers provision servers on-demand. The customer’s team of 5 CloudOps engineers were tasked with enforcing several compliance policies to enforce configuration state across their footprint. Due to lack of automated detection, notification, and approval based remediations there were extensive delays in collaboration and response time to compliance violations.
| Solution
With DAY2 Compliance Bot we solved their cloud complexity and compliance challenges in just few minutes instead of weeks of lead time. Our customer is now setup for continuous cloud compliance and governance across their entire cloud footprint with automated remediation and approval actions, within their existing ChatOps channel in Slack, for effective collaboration within their cross-functional teams.
| Outcome
With MontyCloud DAY2 Compliance BOT the customer now gets a real time compliance assessment and notifications. Their teams are also able to approve or set automatic approval of remediation actions which the Compliance BOT enforces. The DAY2 Compliance BOT is built on AWS native solutions. The customer does not have to deploy server agents, maintain management servers or use any third-party tools. Now a team of 2 (down from 5) manages all compliance operations vs. the original team of 5. With the MontyCloud DAY2 Compliance BOT the customer achieves:
- Continuous compliance checks across 10,000+ EC2 instances
- Automated enforcement of organization wide and team specific desired state relative to team specific compliance policies
- Rules-based noise reduction and prioritization of critical issues along with notification into custom slack channels
