Cloud & DevOps engineering

Everything you need to run securely in the cloud.

Six core practices that take you from a blank cloud account to a hardened, automated platform โ€” and the web products that run on it. Engaged individually or as a complete build.

Always included

What every engagement includes.

Whichever service you pick, you get the same foundation of rigor, security, and documentation โ€” and you own all of it.

๐Ÿ“

Architecture & diagrams

A clear target-state design, reviewed with your team before anything is built.

๐Ÿงฑ

Infrastructure-as-code

Everything in Terraform, in your version control โ€” yours to keep and run.

๐Ÿ”

CI/CD pipelines

OIDC-federated delivery with environment gates and zero stored secrets.

๐Ÿ”

Security baseline

Zero-trust, least-privilege, and cloud-native threat protection applied from day one.

๐Ÿ“š

Runbooks & handover

Operational runbooks and documentation so your team owns it confidently.

๐Ÿ“Š

Costed plan & reporting

A business case with quantified savings and ongoing cost visibility.

01 ยท Foundation

Cloud Landing Zones

A landing zone is the foundation everything else sits on โ€” and the place most cloud journeys go wrong. We design enterprise-scale landing zones to the Cloud Adoption Framework, so governance, networking, identity, and cost control are right from day one.

You get a cloud account that scales to dozens of subscriptions without re-architecture, with guardrails that keep teams safe by default.

What you get

  • Org-level guardrails & subscription topology
  • Hub-and-spoke network with firewall & private endpoints
  • Policy-as-code guardrails & cost governance
  • Identity, RBAC & managed-identity strategy
  • A documented, reproducible foundation
02 ยท Automation

Infrastructure as Code

If it isn't in code, it doesn't exist. We define every resource in Terraform and Terraspace โ€” reviewable, reproducible, and free of click-ops drift. Already have an estate built by hand? We import it cleanly into state.

Reusable modules mean your dev, test, and prod environments are identical by construction, not by hope.

What you get

  • Reusable Terraform / Terraspace module library
  • Brownfield import of existing resources
  • Remote state, locking & drift detection
  • Multi-environment promotion (dev โ†’ test โ†’ prod)
  • A repo your team can actually maintain
03 ยท Security

Edge & Platform Security

We put a global edge + WAF (Front Door, CloudFront, Cloud CDN) in front of your workloads with a managed WAF, bot defense, and private origins โ€” then tune the rules against your real traffic so legitimate users get through and attackers don't.

Behind the edge, Defender for Cloud, GuardDuty & Security Command Center and least-privilege identity keep your posture continuously hardened.

What you get

  • Managed edge + WAF & bot manager
  • Origin lockdown over the cloud provider's backbone
  • WAF rule tuning & false-positive triage
  • Cloud-native threat protection hardening & alerting
  • An incident runbook your team can follow
04 ยท Delivery

CI/CD & Automation

Shipping should be boring. We build OIDC-federated pipelines in Azure DevOps & GitHub Actions โ€” no long-lived secrets, environment gates that prevent mistakes, and reusable templates so every team deploys the same safe way.

The result: faster releases with fewer incidents, and an audit trail for every change.

What you get

  • OIDC / managed-identity authentication (no stored keys)
  • Reusable, parameterized pipeline templates
  • Approval gates & environment protections
  • Plan/apply workflows for Terraform changes
  • Build & release observability
05 ยท Migration

Migration & Modernization

We turn a vague "move to the cloud" goal into a costed, evidence-based plan. An assessment maps your estate and surfaces modernization opportunities; then we rehost, replatform, or refactor onto the right cloud target โ€” and quantify the savings.

One delivered pattern projected $111K CAD/yr in savings across a 57-server estate.

Custom Web Development

When the platform needs an application, we build it โ€” owned by the same team, so there are no integration gaps or finger-pointing. From marketing sites to full SaaS platforms with AI baked in.

Ways to engage

Three ways to start โ€” pick your tier.

From a fixed-scope assessment to a fully managed platform. Most clients begin with an Assessment, then move into Build.

How we work

Every engagement follows the same evidence-based path.

01

Assess

Map the estate, the risks, and the business case before provisioning anything.

02

Design

Architecture to cloud best-practice and your compliance needs, reviewed with your team.

03

Build

Everything as code, stood up reproducibly across environments.

04

Operate

Runbooks, monitoring, and handover โ€” or an ongoing fractional-architect retainer.
