Capabilities

What this practice actually covers

Cloud architecture, Kubernetes, CI/CD and observability that turn deployment from a weekend event into a Tuesday afternoon.

01

Cloud Migration & Landing Zones

Assessment, 6R disposition and phased migration into a governed landing zone with SSO, guardrails and tagging policy.

02

Kubernetes & Containers

EKS, AKS and GKE clusters with GitOps delivery, autoscaling, service mesh and zero-downtime rollouts.

03

Infrastructure as Code

Terraform and Bicep modules under review, so environments are reproducible, diffable and disaster-recoverable.

04

CI/CD Automation

GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps and GitLab pipelines with quality gates, SBOM generation and signed artefacts.

05

Observability & SRE

Prometheus, Grafana, OpenTelemetry and ELK with SLOs, error budgets and actionable on-call alerting.

06

FinOps & Cost Governance

Rightsizing, savings plans, idle-resource reclamation and per-team showback dashboards.

Delivery process

Six phases, no black boxes

You will know exactly where the project stands at any point, and what happens next.

01

Assess

Infrastructure inventory, dependency mapping, cost baseline and a risk-ranked modernisation backlog.

02

Design

Target architecture, network topology, IAM model, DR strategy and RTO/RPO commitments.

03

Automate

Codify everything — network, compute, data, secrets and pipelines — reviewed like application code.

04

Migrate

Wave-based cutover with rollback plans, data validation and parallel-run windows.

05

Operate

24×7 monitoring, patch cadence, incident response and monthly reliability reviews.

06

Optimise

Continuous FinOps and performance tuning against agreed SLOs and budget envelopes.

Architecture & design patterns

The patterns we apply, and why

Architecture decisions are recorded in a decision log you keep — readable, challengeable, and still useful long after we have handed over.

GitOps

Git is the single source of truth; clusters reconcile to the declared state and drift is an alert, not a surprise.

Immutable Infrastructure

Servers are replaced, never patched in place — eliminating configuration drift entirely.

Blue-Green & Canary Releases

Progressive delivery with automated rollback triggered by SLO burn rate.

Circuit Breaker & Bulkhead

Failure isolation so one degraded dependency cannot cascade through the platform.

Zero-Trust Networking

mTLS between services, least-privilege IAM and no implicit trust from network location.

Multi-AZ Active-Active

Stateless workloads spread across availability zones with regional failover rehearsed quarterly.

Deliverables

Exactly what you receive

Not a vague promise of 'the software'. Every engagement lists its artefacts up front, and handover is not complete until each one is signed off.

FAQ

Questions about cloud & devops engineering

In most cases yes. We use parallel-run and wave-based cutovers with database replication so the switchover window is measured in minutes, and we always rehearse rollback before the live event.
