Introduction

In this chapter, we'll get a taste of some of the best practices and solutions that are performed at an enterprise level. Enterprises demand stricter policies and processes to allow the ability for multiple stakeholders to work in a robust environment. When a developer creates an instance, not a lot of thought is put into the ports being opened, password policies, and infrastructure policies. On the other hand, at an enterprise level, for each component of the infrastructure, a specific person or role is defined to ensure a smooth operation.

This chapter covers a few topics on how instances are managed, migration of instances, and tools that ensure and enable industry-grade operations.
