The objective of this plan is to enhance network isolation and adoption by focusing on several crucial metrics. These metrics guide the transition process, ensuring a seamless and efficient migration to an isolated network environment. For instance, the "Migration Time" metric emphasizes the need for a swift transition, which can be improved through automation and thorough documentation.
A critical aspect of this plan is the "Platform Services in Isolated Network" metric. By achieving 100% service transfer, organizations can ensure that all platform services function seamlessly in the new network environment. Regular audits and feedback sessions can help maintain momentum and address challenges promptly.
Overall, these metrics not only benchmark success but also provide actionable insights for continuous improvement, ensuring a robust network infrastructure.
Top 5 metrics for Network Isolation and Adoption
1. Migration Time
Time taken to migrate network infrastructure and services to the isolated network environment
What good looks like for this metric: Less than or equal to 1 day
How to improve this metric:- Streamline migration processes
- Use automation tools to reduce manual work
- Conduct trial runs to identify potential issues
- Provide adequate training to the migration team
- Develop clear migration documentation
2. Platform Services in Isolated Network
Percentage of platform services successfully transferred to an isolated network environment
What good looks like for this metric: 100% of services
How to improve this metric:- Create a detailed list of all platform services
- Use project management tools for tracking migration progress
- Allocate dedicated resources for network transition tasks
- Regular audit and feedback sessions
- Implement a tracking dashboard for stakeholders
3. Domain Services Migration
Number of domain-specific services migrated to the isolated network
What good looks like for this metric: At least 2 services
How to improve this metric:- Identify domain services with highest value impact
- Establish priorities based on current dependencies
- Develop an incremental migration plan
- Test services in the isolated environment iteratively
- Foster collaboration between domain and platform teams
4. Observability Noise Reduction
Rate of noise reduction and signal improvement in observability tools
What good looks like for this metric: Annually decreased noise with improved signals
How to improve this metric:- Adopt AI-based noise reduction solutions
- Regularly review and update monitoring configurations
- Implement automated alert tuning mechanisms
- Conduct team workshops on effective data interpretation
- Focus on continuous learning from alert incidents
5. Disaster Recovery Time
Total time required to complete the disaster recovery process
What good looks like for this metric: Complete within 2 days
How to improve this metric:- Increase automation in backup/recovery processes
- Develop efficient recovery scripts and workflows
- Invest in better infrastructure for faster processing
- Establish regular disaster recovery drills
- Monitor and optimise AWS usage to reduce limitations
How to track Network Isolation and Adoption metrics
It's one thing to have a plan, it's another to stick to it. We hope that the examples above will help you get started with your own strategy, but we also know that it's easy to get lost in the day-to-day effort.
That's why we built Tability: to help you track your progress, keep your team aligned, and make sure you're always moving in the right direction.
Give it a try and see how it can help you bring accountability to your metrics.
