Cloud & DevOps · AWS and Azure

AWS and Azure, built to scale and stay secure.

Cloud architecture, migrations and automated deployments on AWS and Azure, designed by a former AWS Solutions Architect with 20 years in infrastructure. Built as code, documented, and in your name.

What we do

  • Cloud architecture and design reviews on AWS and Azure
  • Migrations from office servers, old hosts or between clouds
  • Infrastructure as code with Terraform, CloudFormation or Bicep
  • CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI or Azure DevOps
  • Containers and serverless: ECS, EKS, AKS, Container Apps, Lambda and Azure Functions
  • Monitoring, logging and alerts that reach a person
  • Identity, access and security baselines
  • Cost reviews and right-sizing

AWS or Azure: we work with both

We recommend the platform that suits your team and the tools you already use, not the one we prefer. Terraform works across both, so you're never locked in to us or to one provider.

Example architectures

Typical setups we design. Every project starts from your requirements, so yours will look different.

AWS

Online store that handles traffic spikes

Stay fast and online through sales, launches and seasonal peaks.

  • CloudFront CDN and AWS WAF in front of the site
  • Containers on ECS behind a load balancer, scaling automatically
  • PostgreSQL on RDS across two availability zones, with automatic failover
  • Everything in Terraform, deployed through GitHub Actions
Azure

Breaking up an ageing system

Move a legacy application to services that can be updated independently, without a big-bang rewrite.

  • Services on Azure Container Apps or AKS, deployed from Azure DevOps
  • API Management for routing, sign-in and rate limits
  • Azure SQL or Cosmos DB, depending on the data
  • Application Insights and Azure Monitor for live telemetry
AWS + Azure

Disaster recovery across clouds

Keep critical systems running if a provider or region has an outage.

  • Primary environment on one cloud, a warm standby on the other
  • Encrypted site-to-site VPN between them
  • Data replicated on a schedule that matches your recovery targets
  • One Terraform codebase for both, and recovery tested on a schedule

How we work

  1. 01

    Assess

    We review your current setup, workloads, security and budget, and agree what good looks like.

  2. 02

    Design

    You get an architecture diagram and a fixed-price plan in plain English before anything changes.

  3. 03

    Build as code

    We build staging and production with infrastructure as code, so every environment is repeatable and documented.

  4. 04

    Automate & hand over

    CI/CD for zero-downtime releases, plus monitoring, alerts and cost controls. Every account stays in your name.

Cloud cost review

from$1,200+ GST

We find the AWS or Azure resources you're paying for and don't need.

Architecture & security review

MOST POPULAR
from$2,500+ GST

Your AWS or Azure setup checked for security, reliability and cost, with a ranked list of fixes.

Migration or new platform

from$8,000+ GST

Moving to the cloud, or building a new environment with CI/CD. Fixed quote after the review.

Built as code, owned by you

Every environment is defined in Terraform, CloudFormation or Bicep and kept in your own repository, so it's documented, repeatable and never tied to us.

Australian data, secured properly

We deploy to Sydney or Melbourne regions by default, with access, encryption and logging set up in line with the Essential Eight and the Privacy Act.

Already on AWS or Azure?

We take over existing environments: we document what's there, fix the risks, and switch off what you don't need.
