Cloud Operations
What a cloud operations engagement covers
The six areas we take responsibility for, the two situations that usually bring people to us, and the leadership shapes we work in.
What we run
Every part of a cloud operation, or just the part you need
These are the areas we cover. Take one of them, take a few, or hand us the whole function. All of it is staffed by senior operators either way.
Cloud hosting and day-to-day operations
Your platform, run: monitoring, incident response, patching, and the unglamorous work that keeps production healthy.
Migration and modernization
Moving workloads onto Azure and AWS, and off the hardware and contracts you are still paying for.
Security and compliance
InfoSec assessment, remediation, and audit readiness for SOC 2 and HIPAA, then keeping the posture from drifting.
Cost and FinOps
Finding the spend that is not doing anything, cutting it, and building the discipline that keeps it cut.
Architecture and platform design
The landing zones, governance, and reference architectures your teams build on top of.
Governance and guardrails
Policy, tagging, identity, and access models that hold up as the environment and the org keep changing.
Where this starts
Two situations that bring people to us
You are growing through acquisition
Every acquisition arrives with its own cloud accounts, its own tooling, and its own way of doing things. The sprawl compounds faster than any internal team can consolidate it.
Signs this is you
- Multiple Azure or AWS tenants inherited from deals
- Duplicate monitoring, security, and deployment tooling
- Spend climbing with no clear owner
- A consolidation roadmap that keeps sliding
You are running legacy data center infrastructure
The hardware is aging, the renewals keep coming, and the people who know how it was built are retiring or leaving. Moving it is a project nobody internally has the bandwidth to own.
Signs this is you
- Hardware refresh or colo renewal forcing a decision
- Workloads nobody wants to touch, let alone move
- A cloud strategy on paper but no team to execute it
- Institutional knowledge concentrated in one or two people
Leadership shapes
Or bring us in at the leadership level
Some teams do not need more hands. They need someone senior accountable for the direction.
Fractional CTO
Senior technical leadership without a full-time hire: roadmap ownership, architecture decisions, and a hand on the tiller for your engineering org.
Fractional CISO
Security leadership for companies that need the function but not yet the headcount: posture, policy, audit readiness, and board-level reporting.
Ongoing project advisory
Senior review and guidance alongside your team on cloud work already in flight, without taking over delivery.
