Your Industry’s Best Practices
Our teams work with some of the largest AWS environments in every industry. We understand not only best practices for AWS itself, but for industry-specific needs, like compliance, governance, monitoring, logging, containerizing, and the architectures that make all of these possible. We’ve worked with hundreds of customers across thousands of deployments to help their environments scale and perform.

Support You Can Trust
Our 24/7 support is backed by Enterprise SLAs and AWS itself. This means that when an issue arises, or a critical service goes down, you’re not on your own for figuring out a fix. With live chat and ticketing, you get responses in minutes, so you can get back up and running without losing customers or breaching a secure system.

Frequently Asked Questions

How can I measure my alignment to AWS best practices?
Mission Control helps you to measure this by benchmarking your environment using a combination of a proprietary algorithm and several AWS tools, including AWS Trusted Advisor, AWS Security Hub, and AWS Compute Optimizer. If you want to get a sense of your alignment prior to signing up for Cloud Foundation, you can try Mission Cloud Score for free from the AWS Marketplace. Mission Cloud Score is powered by Mission Control and benchmarks your environment against the well-architected pillars.
How often will I meet with my Technical Account Managers?
We can’t jump on a call at the drop of a hat, but your team of Technical Account Managers are available to meet with you at the cadence you prefer. We suggest a cadence of somewhere between quarterly and monthly, depending on the growth and frequency of change to your AWS environment. If you need to meet more than bi-weekly with us, that’s subject to special approval.
What if I need more assistance with cloud operations management, 24/7 incident and security monitoring?
For cloud operations, you should look to Mission Cloud Operate, our fully managed service for comprehensive monitoring, 24/7 alert response, and AWS operational best practices. With the help of New Relic One’s observability platform, we handle routine tasks and maintenance so you can focus on your most impactful business objectives. For security, look to Mission Cloud Secure. Here, ​​we provide 24/7 security monitoring and incident response through a powerful combination of CrowdStrike's world-class security platform and Mission's AWS expertise. 
What’s the difference between Mission support and AWS support?
There are 3 major differences: ratio of customers to engineers, environmental visibility, and cost. We maintain an engineer to customer ratio of roughly 1:10, giving our team more opportunity to build up familiarity with your environment. All our teams also have equal visibility into your environment, including your Mission Control instance, so we can more quickly contextualize your requests. And finally, we offer Enterprise support with SLAs that match AWS’s, but we are often vastly less expensive than what you’ll pay for Enterprise support from AWS.
How does the Instant Discount Program work?
The Instant Discount Program works by incorporating your billing into our payer account. Because of the purchasing we do in aggregate on behalf of our customers, we can effectively buy from AWS in bulk for a discount and then redistribute that pricing advantage to our customers. So getting your discount is truly as simple as signing up.
How do I know if I have FinOps or InfraOps opportunities in my environment?
Two key indicators are the growth of your overall costs and your applications’ performance. If you find yourself running into scaling limitations for either of those, this is a strong indicator that you have opportunities to make your environment more efficient and to re-architect with best practices in mind. Issues like spiraling or spiking costs or application instability have their roots in infrastructural decisions, and we can show you where there may be waste, bottlenecks, or other opportunities to create a more healthy and performant environment.
