Value results
| Category | Value result |

| Capability | Reliability engineering stays visible to adjacent teams through Amazon EC2 |
| Capability | SRE and operations work from the same Amazon EC2 record for backup and failover |
| Capability | Backup and failover can be reviewed without waiting on a personal export |
Story
Canon grew backup and failover faster than the local tools around it. From Japan, information technology teams still had to serve customers and internal partners who expected a straight answer. SRE and operations were the ones stitching the picture together by hand.
Rolling out Amazon EC2 put reliability engineering on AWS. Amazon Web Services is the leading public cloud for compute, storage, data, and AI services, used to run production systems at global scale. Canon keeps the product in the path where work already happens, so SRE and operations do not context-switch into a graveyard system used only for audits.
The visible result is steadier reliability engineering. Backup and failover is easier to inspect, and adjacent groups can join SRE and operations without a guided tour of someone's desktop.
