Cloud EngineeringThe landing zone we stand up first

Organization: EU regions, guardrails, SCPs and tag policy
Shared services: Logging, IAM, CI
Network: Transit, egress
Workloads: Prod, staging
Sandbox: Budget-capped
Terraform: One state per account, cost tags enforced

The brief we usually get

Two problems we are called in to fix.

Concrete starting points, each with the team we field, the stack, and what lands in the first 30 days.

Migration and landing zone

Typical problemA stalled lift-and-shift, click-ops everywhere, and no account structure to build on.

What we shipA landing zone with IaC, guardrails, and migration in waves - not one risky weekend.

Example stackAWSTerraformControl TowerEKS

First 30 daysLanding zone stood up and the first workload migrated behind IaC.

FinOps and cost engineering

Typical problemThe cloud bill is growing faster than usage and nobody can attribute it to a team.

What we shipCost allocation tags, rightsizing, commitment plans, and per-team budgets with alerts.

Example stackAWS CostTerraformKubecostAthena

First 30 daysA tagged, attributable bill and a costed plan to cut run-rate 20-35%.

Deliverables

What you get.

Cloud outputs that make architecture, cost, and ownership clear before the platform scales.

Plan

Cloud architecture plan

Target account structure, network design, data residency, migration waves, and risk notes.

Why it mattersThe cloud setup is understandable before money is spent.

Build

Infrastructure baseline

Reviewable infrastructure-as-code delivered with naming, tagging, and ownership conventions.

Why it mattersYour team can change the platform safely instead of clicking through consoles.

Cost

Cost visibility pack

Tagged spend, budget views, rightsizing findings, and a prioritized savings plan.

Why it mattersFinance can see where cloud cost comes from and what can be reduced.

Handover

Handover documentation

Access model, operating notes, security assumptions, and maintenance guidance.

Why it mattersThe platform is owned by your team, not locked inside our heads.

By the numbersA typical monthly spend build-up

Compute: +46% of gross spend
Storage: +22%
Network: +14%
Managed: +18%
Savings: -26% from committed-use and right-sizing

How we work

From cloud sprawl to controlled platform.

Architecture, migration, cost, and ownership are handled together instead of as disconnected workstreams.

Phase 01
Assess
Map current footprint, cost drivers, and data-residency and compliance needs.

Phase 02
Landing zone
