Notice Information

Notice Title

Application Migration Support

Notice Description

In order to develop an understanding of the environments operational within the cloud, it is vital that individual assets and services are tagged correctly with metadata. An effective tagging strategy will give improved visibility and monitoring, help create accurate show-back models and get more granular and precise insights into usage and spend by applications and teams. DWP's Cloud providers incorporate tagging into best practice procedures, when work is done to build instances they recommend tagging those. When looking at the scalability, tagging needs to be placed within infrastructure as code files which ultimately ends up in the CI/CD pipeline which requires skilled resources. In collaboration with our cloud providers, the DWP has already created a tagging strategy which has not yet been executed. The requirement is to secure a service to provide the following: * Assess the current tagging strategy * Execution of the tagging strategy, incl. engagement and execution plan with PDUs * Monitoring of tags and creation of tag reporting
