Building a well-architected solution is important in maximizing the full benefits Azure Cloud has to offer. nOps’s powerful auto-discovery engine helps your infrastructure comply with best practices of the five pillars of Azure Well-Architected Framework—cost optimization, security, performance, reliability, and operational excellence.

Continuous Resource & Cost Optimization:

Design and architect optimized workloads in the most cost-efficient manner. Rein in sudden cost spikes, capacity issues, and bill shocks by monitoring changes continuously across Azure users, accounts, regions, cloud services, resources, usage types, operations, and tags. All these are presented in a single pane of glass multi-cloud format, empowering you to make informed decisions.

Visibility & Change Management:

Stay in the loop with your constantly evolving infrastructure. nOps provides near-instant visibility to changes in your cloud environment and configuration history, along with continuous notifications of security risks and detailed audit trails. All these are presented in an integrated Single Pane of Glass Dashboard.

Security & Compliance:

Fortify your Azure infrastructure’s security by staying on top of security issues before they cause damages.

Operational Accountability:

Empower your organization’s cloud center of excellence (CCOE) with comprehensive and detailed insights necessary in standardizing and enforcing your cloud governance process.

nOps 7.1 Release Cycle Announcement

With the monitoring powers that nOps brings to your infrastructure, it might be a little tricky to organize and manage your communication preferences. 

Change management alerts, rules, dashboards, and reports are different places where you can get notified. We’ve added the option to organize and get on top of your communication preferences on one page to get what you want, when you want it.

Workloads are your building blocks to manage and improve your infrastructure. 🌏 

With nOps workloads, you can validate and measure the effectiveness of workload resources. Now, you can even get more than that by integrating workloads features with your workflow using nOps APIs for workloads! ⚡  Learn more about how you can pull your workload

nOps has enhanced the partner sign-up flow. Now partners can be on-boarded and using nOps in minutes. nOps has also added a new dashboard that highlights the major features available on the nOps Partner Portal.

Workloads provide a level of abstraction to describe and group resources

with a well-defined function and purpose to facilitate observation and

management. Once a workload is defined on nOps, a corresponding

workload is automatically created on your AWS account.

Workload type and resources are defined by using filters like Regions or Services.

It’s now possible to receive notifications about rules violations on

dashboards even when not on nOps.

Navigate to your custom dashboard (Reports -> Custom dashboards).

Click ‘Configure Notifications.’

Many resources in AWS have not supported tags upon creation. Now, by

default, tags can be attached to resources so that the root of any

violations can easily be highlighted and managed. 

To access, go to your: Profile Settings -> Default tagging.

When you see a spike in your daily spend you probably will need to identify where and who caused this increase in cost. But going to your resources list doesn’t tell you a lot about it. But now you can get more into the root cause by grouping your resources by your own resources tag to understand which team, which project, or which user was responsible for the cost. However the tags structure you follow, you can group resources by those tags, and get a summarized list of resources related to that tag, and the cost they caused. 

You can now export any of your custom dashboards to a PDF file that you can share easily across different mediums.

You will find a new option on the top right of your custom dashboard to export:
