Most Public Clouds break down the shared IT security responsibility model into two primary categories: security in the cloud, and security of the cloud. Many organizations maintain a false belief that the cloud provider is responsible for securing their data, and they are unaware of what responsibility they own. This belief can lead to increased security risks, potential data loss, and failure to meet compliance and regulatory requirements.

For example, Amazon makes it clear it that they are responsible for the physical security of the data centers and underlying pieces of infrastructure, which includes: computing, storage, database, and networking.

The cloud hosting customer is responsible for security in the cloud, including data protection, identity and access management, operating system configuration, network security — access controls — and encryption.

Creativestar includes a monthly Security Analysis Report (like the one shown here) for all of its clients using any hosting provider.

Creativestar's Cloud Assessment is a cloud infrastructure analytics service providing data analytics, cost analysis, and recommendations to speed and simplify ROI analysis, cloud migration, and management.  This service helps you determine “right-sized” cloud configurations and the “best-fit” cloud provider (private, hybrid, AWS, Azure) for your environment.

This service automates application discovery, creates dependency mapping, analyzes performance metrics, resource utilization, and your usage patterns. Use this analysis to:

• Provide precise cloud migration information
• Compare the costs of AWS, Microsoft Azure and other public cloud services based on your specific configurations
• Ensure your cloud computing needs are met, and right-sized
• Create an optimal (costs vs. performance) cloud environment
• Improve your ROI and maximize your cloud investments while proposing significant cost efficiencies
• A detailed understanding of your site performance expectations to provide you the optimal architecture
• A complete picture of your data storage requirements to optimize your hosting solution
• A calculation reflecting the demands your applications and users will put on your hosting and network infrastructure
• Requirements for performance, agility, and growth
• Analysis of cloud configuration and migration parameters
• An understanding of your backup, redundancy and disaster recovery requirements
• Security, storage, and compliance criteria

Creativestar Cloud Assessment includes a comparison analyzing workloads and current pricing for AWS and Azure so you can make a better decision.
