Systems and method for deploying, securing, and maintaining computer-based analytic environments

A method for provisioning a plurality of analytic cells based on a previously established production environment analytic cell generated by an automated provisioning framework, the method comprising:

• generating one or modifications to a development environment analytic cell, wherein the development environment analytic cell is based on the previously established production environment analytic cell;
• performing one or more security control tests upon the modified development environment analytic cell;
• generating a security report on the modified development environment analytic cell, wherein the security report is based on one or more results of the one or more security validations;
• receiving an approval of the modified development environment analytic cell, wherein the approval is based on the generated security report and a prior approval of the previously established production environment;
• updating one or more provisioning scripts associated with the previously established production environment analytic cell, wherein the updates to the one or more provisioning scripts are based on the one or more modifications made to the development environment analytic cell;
• and
• executing the updated one or more provisioning scripts in a production environment located within a cloud computing environment, wherein the execution of the updated one or more provisioning scripts modifies the previously established production environment analytic cell, and wherein the modified analytic cell in the production environment is configured to be available to a plurality of users;
• executing the updated provisioning scripts on the cloud computing environment to generate a second analytic cell on the cloud computing environment;
• and
• configuring the second analytic cell to be available to a plurality of users based on the received approval of the modified analytic cell.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing one or more programs for provisioning a plurality of secure analytic cells using an automated provisioning framework, the one or more programs comprising instructions, which when executed by an electronic device, cause the device to:

• receive one or more specifications of a first analytic cell;
• configure one or more provisioning scripts based on the received one or more specifications of the analytic cell, wherein the one or more provisioning scripts are configured to instantiate the first analytic cell on a cloud computing environment;
• execute the one or more provisioning scripts on the cloud computing environment to generate the first analytic cell on the cloud computing environment;
• execute one or more security control tests on the provisioned first analytic cell;
• generate a security report on the first analytic cell, wherein the security report is based on one or more results of the one or more security control tests;
• receive an approval of the provisioned first analytic cell, wherein the approval is based on the generated security report;
• configure the first analytic cell to be available to a plurality of users based on the received approval;
• execute the one or more provisioning scripts on the cloud computing environment to generate a second analytic cell on the cloud computing environment;
• and
• configure the second analytic cell to be available to a plurality of users based on the received approval of the provisioned first analytic cell.
