One of the first challenges in assisting AWS customers who have engaged a partner from the AWS Partner Network, like Hestio, is providing secure access to their AWS accounts with minimal permissions that align with good security practice.

Solution partners in the AWS Partner Network are often involved in shorter projects and ad-hoc activities such as security audits, well architected reviews, AWS migrations, and workload provisioning.

So, how can we make it easier for all AWS partners, not just Hestio, to help AWS customers?

Building a house on sand is a fundamentally unsound endeavour, as the shifting and unstable nature of the foundation poses a constant threat to the structure's stability. The sand's inability to provide a solid, dependable base becomes evident when adverse weather conditions, such as heavy rains or flooding, occur. In such situations, the house is at risk of sinking, tilting, or even collapsing, highlighting the importance of a strong, well-anchored foundation as the bedrock of any secure and reliable structure.

Good job ChatGPT. Right guys, we're outta here. There's nothing more to add. No, wait - we forgot to talk about the Rugs.

Welcome to another exciting blog post, where we will dive deep and explore how we helped a long-standing AWS customer regain control over their data lake, consisting of over 3 Petabytes (PB) of S3 data.

This customer embarked on their cloud journey over a decade ago, embracing the scalability and flexibility offered by AWS. Nevertheless, as time went by, they found themselves grappling with a growing challenge – an ever-increasing pool of data that had accumulated within their S3 buckets. Data management practices had adjusted with growth, however, the customer had no clear visibility into which data was essential to retain and which could be safely removed.

How can we decide what needs to be retained if we don't have visibility of the inventory we have?

As organizations embarked on their cloud adoption journeys, the established practice was to treat the cloud as a separate domain, similar to other specialized areas such as networking, user management, or databases. This approach involved dedicated and specialized teams responsible for the ownership and operation of yet another single vertical within the organization; cloud. However, this model has proven to be more of a hindrance than a long-term success, resulting in more barriers to adoption and ever increasing costs.

What if I told you that delivering a modern asset management lifecycle could be achieved using automation and infrastructure-as-code in a way that could be added to your existing DevOps pipelines? Traditional DevOps pipelines and managing digital assets are a lot more alike than you think;
