CLOUD INFRASTRUCTURE

AWS and Azure, without the cost surprises.

Cloud accounts have a way of getting expensive quietly — an EC2 instance that never turned off, a snapshot from 2022 nobody remembers, a NAT Gateway pushing 300 GB/day for no reason. We run cloud accounts so they stay cheap, secure, and understandable — and we build new environments when you're growing into them.

WHO THIS IS FOR
  • →Companies with an AWS or Azure account that grew organically and nobody fully owns.
  • →Teams moving from on-prem servers or a colocation cage into the cloud for the first time.
  • →Growing orgs whose cloud bill jumped 40% last quarter and nobody can quite explain why.
  • →Founders who set up cloud themselves and now need someone to take it over properly.

HOW WE WORK
Cost audit is the fastest win

Almost every SMB cloud account has 15-30% waste — idle instances, over-provisioned volumes, orphaned resources, unused reserved capacity. First deliverable is usually a written cost audit that pays back the first quarter of managed fees.

IAM before anything else

Cloud without IAM discipline is a security liability waiting to happen. We inventory every access key, every IAM user, every over-permissioned role — then rebuild access around SSO federation and role assumption. No more shared root credentials in a spreadsheet.

Terraform where it earns its keep

For anything that touches multiple resources or gets rebuilt regularly (networking, environments, IAM), we manage it as code. For one-off resources, click-ops is fine — infrastructure-as-code isn't a religion.

Backup you can actually restore from

Anyone can turn on backups. The question is: have you ever restored from one and timed it? We test restores quarterly for anything business-critical. If it doesn't restore, it's not really backed up.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
AWS or Azure — which for our next project?
If your identity is already Microsoft 365 / Entra ID, Azure integrates more cleanly. If you're on Okta or Google Workspace and doing anything data-heavy, AWS has the deeper service catalog. We help you pick per-project rather than dogmatically.
We're on a colocation cage / on-prem servers. Should we move to cloud?
Not always. Cloud is cheaper for spiky, elastic workloads and more expensive for steady-state compute you run 24/7. We do the honest math on 3-year TCO before recommending a migration.
How do you handle secrets and credentials?
AWS Secrets Manager or Azure Key Vault for anything programmatic. 1Password / Bitwarden for human-facing shared credentials. No credentials in .env files committed to git, no shared logins in shared spreadsheets.
Do you build things or just maintain them?
Both. Standard managed plan covers ongoing operations. New buildouts (a fresh VPC, a new environment, a migration) are quoted as project work.
