Workload &
business constraints.
Alerts are only useful if someone knows what they mean and what they are authorised to do. We define the supported systems, response coverage and escalation path before taking on the environment.
When this service fits
- A small IT team covering many business systems
- A migrated application entering steady operation
- Unclear responsibility between an application vendor and hosting provider
Delivery plan.

AWS components we consider.
The final selection follows the workload, compatibility and regional requirements. These components are a starting point for design.
