Application Data Flow and Connectivity Diagram:

Infracore meticulously charted the flow of data, tracing its path from the front-end firewall through the load balancer and web server tiers to the back-end database and ancillary infrastructure. This comprehensive visualization empowered the new DevOps team to grasp the logical data flows within the application and their intricate dependencies.

Infrastructure Diagram:

Infracore generated detailed network and infrastructure diagrams delineating Azure components such as virtual machines, network gateways, VPN gateways, and storage accounts. This resource enabled the new DevOps team to swiftly familiarize themselves with the current infrastructure state and establish a foundational baseline for future enhancements.

Security Posture Assessment and Improvement Plan:

Leveraging insights from the application data flow analysis, Infracore conducted a thorough evaluation of the Azure infrastructure’s security posture. Subsequently, recommendations were provided to fortify the infrastructure against potential intrusions, enhancing overall security resilience.

Cost Optimization Recommendations:

Infracore conducted a comprehensive review of the existing infrastructure, offering tailored recommendations to optimize costs. For actively utilized and appropriately sized systems, options such as purchasing Azure Reserved Instances were proposed to mitigate per-hour expenses. In cases of orphaned or abandoned resources, suggestions included deletion or release to minimize recurring monthly costs.

Infrastructure Migration Plan and Implementation:

In scenarios necessitating infrastructure right-sizing, Infracore devised meticulous migration plans. Notably, this involved transitioning the primary database server to a more suitable infrastructure type. Infracore collaborated closely with the development team to ensure a seamless cutover to the new system, minimizing disruptions and maximizing efficiency.
