Cloud Onboarding Automation for Major US City

This case study outlines the cloud onboarding and migration process undertaken by a major US city in collaboration with Zensar Technologies. The city faced challenges related to growing populations and the increasing demand for robust technical infrastructure to support government functions. To address these challenges, the city initiated a migration to cloud technology, aiming to enhance agility, efficiency, and communication among its departments. The implementation involved a customized workshop to gather compliance standards, followed by a structured approach to design and implement an AWS multi-account structure. Key aspects included proactive tagging strategies, automated account creation, and integration with the city’s enterprise systems. The migration resulted in dynamic security, compliance, and governance for new AWS accounts, enabling self-service capabilities for city departments. The solutions were implemented cost-effectively, allowing for improved collaboration while maintaining compliance requirements. This case study serves as a comprehensive account of the strategies and outcomes associated with the city's cloud migration efforts.
