nOps announced
a new API integration with the AWS Well-Architected Tool, available
immediately. The company introduced additional new product features that
support AWS Well-Architected Framework Reviews and enrich the product
experience for partners and end-customers.
The AWS Well-Architected Tool helps
customers review the state of their workloads and compares them to the latest
AWS architectural best practices. The tool is based on the AWS Well-Architected
Framework, developed to help cloud architects build secure, high-performing,
resilient and efficient application infrastructure. The new nOps API
integration provides a seamless experience for AWS Partners to execute these
AWS Well-Architected Framework Reviews. With the new integration, nOps partners
can easily share information created by nOps during an AWS Well-Architected
Framework Review with the AWS Well-Architected Tool for AWS program reporting
requirements.
"nOps is excited to deliver this
integration with the AWS Well-Architected Tool," said JT Giri, CEO and Founder,
nOps. "We're committed to creating the best AWS Well-Architected Framework
Review experience for partners and their customers. This seamless integration
between nOps and the AWS Well-Architected Tool increases the quality of AWS
Well-Architected Framework Reviews while reducing the time needed to execute
them."
"This is a bulls-eye," said Nick Larsen,
AWS Practice Lead at iOLAP, an AWS Advanced Consulting Partner and
AWS Well-Architected Partner. "With nOps, you have the hands-down best partner
productivity tool for executing AWS Well-Architected Framework Reviews. This
API integration with AWS delivers an elegant last mile for sharing assessment
data and submitting program information."
AWS recently announced its AWS
Well-Architected Tool Partner Integration Program committed to helping AWS
Partners that offer tools that support or enhance AWS Well-Architected. nOps is
among the selected Launch Partners in the program.
nOps announced additional new features in
its platform designed to expand partners' and customers' abilities to optimize
AWS infrastructure. These include:
- "Workloads"
on nOps: Creating workloads on nOps allows partners to build a
set of resources that can be used in any of the AWS Well-Architected
assessments (such as AWS Well-Architected Framework Review or AWS
Foundational Technical Review). Auto-discovery is nOps' secret sauce in
workloads - based on the resources added to the workload, nOps can
auto-answer AWS Well-Architected assessment questions.
- nOps
integration with Jira Cloud: Partners can use nOps to
integrate with Jira Cloud and their Jira workspaces and synchronize issues
in a two-way integration. For example, as partners identify high-risk
issues (HRIs) in their customers' infrastructure for remediation, they can
create and update issues, add comments, and change statuses. The resources
function can group a list of tickets.
- Ability
to design AWS Well-Architected Framework Review reports: Partners
can use the nOps templates generator to create their AWS Well-Architected
Framework Review reports for different scenarios. They can design the
report layout and insert marketing or services blocks and their findings
from nOps' auto-discovery feature. They can then use those templates to
export their AWS Well-Architected Framework Review reports.
- nOps
custom rules: Partners and end clients can use the nOps custom rules
engine to create queries on their infrastructure and use the custom rules
in different places in the product, such as dashboards, reports, and email
notifications.
The nOps platform is currently available
in the AWS Marketplace and through major distributors, including
Ingram Micro Cloud.
