DAY2™ Well-Managed Cloud is a rich catalog of well-architected blueprints and task automations that helps you enable your users to provision compliant and operations ready cloud accounts, regions, and networks on-demand.

You should use WMC, to enable your teams to overcome the inertia of ticketing systems and operate compliant, secure and efficient cloud environments. With WMC your users and application owners can provision compliant environments on demand from a growing catalog of well-architected infrastructure as code blueprints. The accounts and resources provisioned by WMC are instantly discovered, tagged and visible through DAY2™ Discovery and Classification

DAY2™ Well-Managed Cloud is delivered through the DAY2™ SaaS Platform and integrated with AWS CloudFormation. The DAY2™ SaaS Platform includes a Provisioning Portal and an Application Dashboard. In the Provisioning Portal, you find a catalogue of Well-Managed Cloud and Well-Managed Application Blueprints. To deploy a Well-Managed Cloud Blueprint you start the wizard, select target account and region, validate permissions, network settings, security parameters, and/or instance type/size and click to deploy. DAY2™ manages all API calls to AWS CloudFormation in the background. Once provisioning is completed Application Dashboard will be automatically created. In your Application Dashboard, you can now continuously discover and monitoring resources and automate tasks and policies.

You can easily get started by creating a MontyCloud account at https://app.montycloud.com/signup. Select Well-Managed Cloud from the product catalog. You will be asked to onboard your AWS account(s) and then taken to the blueprints library. You can pick any blueprint you want to get started.

DAY2™ secures your account credentials by accessing your account through a system-generated restricted IAM role. When you onboard your AWS Account, DAY2™ creates a restricted role, only with permissions required to perform DAY2™ operations. This restricted role is created using secure AWS Well-Architected standards for cross-account access. It is not accessible by anyone including MontyCloud employees. DAY2™ does not need your AWS Credentials. Your AWS account is secure even with DAY2™ access.

Yes. Import of your own existing or new AWS CloudFormation templates is available as a feature of DAY2™ Well-Managed Applications. Bring-your-Own-Blueprint in DAY2™ Well-Managed Applications enables reusable self-service deployment, continuous resource discovery, monitoring, task automation, and policy management for your CloudFormation stack. Bring-you-Own-Blueprint also provides a system of record for all your blueprints and infrastructure, application, and user events in one place. To learn more about Bring-you-Own-Blueprint, please visit the DAY2™ Well-Managed Applications webpage.

Yes, you can bring your own remediation scripts, automation via our custom task feature. DAY2™ will seamlessly surface these custom actions in the remediation wizard.

Yes, provided the underlying AWS accounts and regions are managed by MontyCloud DAY2™.
Targeting a single account and region, however, provides an additional benefit where the choice of network-related parameters can be locked. This is advantageous for users who are not familiar with cloud networking concepts or to lock deployments into using a specific landing zone designated for that team. Network-related parameters cannot be locked for launch configurations that target multiple accounts/regions as network configurations are unique to each account and region.

Yes, if you have an existing Customer-Owned, Public or Private image available within your AWS account, blueprints that offer the selection of an AMI will display both the default AMI selection and your own images for selection during the launch configuration wizard.

Well-Architected Framework is an AWS Framework of recommendations that help customers and partners optimize their AWS footprint for security, costs, reliability, performance and operational excellence. DAY2™ Blueprints are built based on the AWS Well-Architected framework. You can find more information on the AWS Well-Architected Framework at https://aws.amazon.com/architecture/well-architected/

Access to the DAY2™ Provisioning Portal and any Blueprint or Application Dashboard is governed by Role-Based Access Controls (RBAC) based on AWS Identity & Access Management (IAM) Security Roles and Restricted Permissions. In the DAY2™ Admin Center you can create users and select role (or create a new role). The user role will govern access level, such as full or departmental access as provisioning requestor or approver. You can configure RBAC to meet your business context and eliminate the need to create, configure and manage numerous individual IAM Roles.

Yes, you can create and access the DAY2 account only by using your work email address.

Yes, for DAY2™ Well-Managed Cloud you can submit your support requests via email support@montycloud.com  or create a ticket directly at support.montycloud.com. We will make our best effort to respond to you initially within 24 hours.

DAY2 supports Azure Active Directory on SAML 2.0 authentication protocol in this release.

DAY2 support team will help disabling the SSO configuration for your organization. Existing DAY2 local authentication will automatically resume for continued access to the platform.
