RED & USE Monitoring Methodologies

Standard approaches for selecting golden signals (Rate-Errors-Duration / Utilisation-Saturation-Errors).

Cloud Migration 7 Rs Strategy

A decision framework for choosing how to migrate each application to the cloud across seven options: retire, retain, rehost, relocate, repurchase, replatform, and refactor.

Cloud Landing Zone

A pre-configured, secure, multi-account cloud foundation with baked-in identity, networking, governance, and guardrails so teams can deploy workloads safely at scale.

Cloud Cost Allocation and Tagging

Cloud cost allocation and tagging is the FinOps practice of labeling cloud resources with consistent metadata so spend can be attributed accurately to teams, products, and environments.

Green Software Engineering

Green software engineering is the practice of building applications that are carbon-efficient, energy-efficient, and carbon-aware, reducing the environmental impact of software at every layer.

Patterns7

Service Registry

A database of available service instances and their network locations, kept current as instances start, stop, and fail.

Service Discovery

A mechanism for clients to find the current network location of a service without hard-coding addresses.

Gateway Aggregation

Uses a gateway to combine multiple backend requests into one, so clients make a single call instead of many.

Gateway Offloading

Moves shared cross-cutting functionality such as TLS, auth, and rate limiting out of services and into a gateway.

Gateway Routing

Routes client requests to the correct backend service through a single endpoint using request attributes such as path or host.

Data Lakehouse

A data architecture that adds warehouse-style ACID tables, schema, and governance directly on low-cost data-lake storage, unifying analytics and ML on one platform.

Exponential Backoff with Jitter

Adds randomness to exponentially growing retry delays so that many clients do not retry in lockstep and overwhelm a recovering service.

Anti-Patterns13

Vendor Lock-In

Designing a system so deeply around one provider's proprietary services that switching becomes prohibitively expensive, eroding negotiating power and portability.

Nanoservices

Splitting a system into services so small that coordination, network, and operational overhead vastly exceed the value of each tiny service.

Entity Service

Designing microservices around data entities rather than business capabilities, forcing every workflow to orchestrate chatty calls across CRUD-only services.

ClickOps

Provisioning and changing cloud infrastructure by hand through web consoles, producing undocumented, irreproducible, and unauditable configuration.

No Infrastructure as Code

Running infrastructure without any code-based definition, so it cannot be versioned, reviewed, reproduced, or recovered systematically.

Over-Provisioning

Allocating far more compute, memory, or capacity than workloads need, wasting money for headroom that is rarely used.

Under-Provisioning

Allocating too little capacity to save money, leaving workloads starved so they slow down, fail, or fall over under load.

Cloud Bill Shock

An unexpectedly huge cloud invoice arriving because spend was never tracked, attributed, or governed until the bill landed.

Lift and Shift Without Optimization

Moving applications to the cloud unchanged and stopping there, inheriting on-prem inefficiencies while paying cloud prices and gaining none of the benefits.

Single Region, No Disaster Recovery

Running an entire system in one region or data center with no disaster-recovery plan, so a regional failure takes everything down with no recovery path.

Wildcard IAM Permissions

Granting broad cloud permissions with wildcards like Action:* or Resource:*, violating least privilege and widening the blast radius of any compromise.

Long-Lived Static Credentials

Using permanent API keys and access tokens that never expire and are rarely rotated, maximizing the value and lifespan of any leak.

Publicly Exposed Storage Buckets

Leaving cloud object storage open to anonymous read or write, a leading cause of large-scale data leaks from simple misconfiguration.

Comparisons24

Azure vs GCP

Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud Platform are the second and third largest public clouds, with different strengths in enterprise integration versus data and AI.

EKS vs GKE

Amazon EKS and Google GKE are the leading managed Kubernetes services. GKE is more automated and mature; EKS offers deepest AWS integration.

ECS vs EKS

Amazon ECS is AWS's simpler proprietary container orchestrator; EKS is managed Kubernetes. ECS trades portability for ease; EKS trades simplicity for the open ecosystem.

Fargate vs Lambda

AWS Fargate runs serverless containers; AWS Lambda runs serverless functions. Fargate suits long-running services; Lambda suits short, event-driven work.

Terraform vs Pulumi

Terraform uses a declarative DSL (HCL) for infrastructure as code; Pulumi lets you define infrastructure in general-purpose languages like TypeScript, Python, or Go.

Terraform vs CloudFormation

Terraform is a multi-cloud IaC tool; AWS CloudFormation is AWS's native infrastructure-as-code service. Terraform wins on portability; CloudFormation on AWS depth.

OpenTofu vs Terraform

OpenTofu is the open-source fork of Terraform created after HashiCorp's BSL license change. The two are largely compatible but differ on licensing and governance.

VMs vs Containers

Virtual machines virtualize hardware with a full guest OS; containers virtualize the OS, sharing the host kernel. VMs offer stronger isolation; containers offer density and speed.

Serverless vs Containers

Serverless abstracts away infrastructure and scales to zero; containers give portable, full control over the runtime. The choice balances operational simplicity against flexibility.

EC2 vs Lambda

Amazon EC2 provides full virtual servers you manage; AWS Lambda runs event-driven functions with no servers to manage. Control and steady cost versus elasticity and simplicity.

Cloudflare vs CloudFront

Cloudflare is an independent global edge platform with CDN, security, and edge compute; Amazon CloudFront is AWS's CDN, deeply integrated with the AWS ecosystem.

S3 vs EBS

Amazon S3 is object storage accessed over HTTP; Amazon EBS is block storage attached to EC2 instances. They serve fundamentally different storage needs.

Cloud Run vs Cloud Functions

Google Cloud Run runs serverless containers; Cloud Functions runs serverless functions. Cloud Run offers more flexibility; Cloud Functions is simpler for event glue.

AWS CDK vs Terraform

The AWS CDK defines infrastructure in real programming languages that compile to CloudFormation; Terraform uses declarative HCL across many clouds. Code power versus multi-cloud reach.

Vault vs AWS Secrets Manager

HashiCorp Vault is a powerful, cloud-agnostic secrets and identity platform; AWS Secrets Manager is a managed, AWS-native secrets store. Power and portability versus simplicity.

RDS vs Aurora

Amazon RDS runs standard managed database engines; Amazon Aurora is AWS's cloud-native engine with a distributed storage layer offering higher performance and availability.

Snowflake vs BigQuery

Cloud-agnostic data warehouse with decoupled compute versus Google's fully serverless analytics warehouse.

BigQuery vs Redshift

Google's fully serverless analytics warehouse versus Amazon Redshift's AWS-native MPP warehouse.

.NET vs .NET Framework

Modern .NET (formerly .NET Core) is the cross-platform, actively developed runtime, while .NET Framework is the legacy Windows-only platform now in maintenance.

Spring Boot vs Quarkus

Spring Boot is the mature, ubiquitous Java framework; Quarkus is a cloud-native, Kubernetes-first framework optimized for fast startup and low memory.

Spring Boot vs Micronaut

Spring Boot uses runtime reflection and a huge ecosystem; Micronaut uses compile-time dependency injection for fast startup and low memory.

HashiCorp Vault vs Cloud Secrets Manager

Vault is a powerful, cloud-agnostic secrets and identity platform; cloud-native secrets managers are simpler, fully managed services tied to one cloud.

Kubeflow vs SageMaker

Kubeflow is an open-source ML platform on Kubernetes; Amazon SageMaker is AWS's managed ML service. The choice trades portability and control against managed convenience.

Self-Hosted vs Managed Inference

Self-hosted inference runs models on your own infrastructure; managed inference uses a provider's endpoint. The choice trades control, privacy, and cost-at-scale against simplicity.
