AWS & cloud services
AWS is easy to over-provision and easy to under-secure, often at the same time. We design and manage cloud infrastructure sized for what your business actually needs: enough redundancy for what the business actually needs, without enterprise-scale spend or complexity you'll never use.
What is included
- EC2 instance sizing and provisioning
- RDS setup, automated backups and failover
- S3 storage with lifecycle and retention policies
- VPC, subnet and security group architecture
- IAM roles scoped to least-privilege access
- Regular cost reviews to catch bill creep
Rates

Frequently asked questions
We're worried about our AWS bill growing out of control, can you help?
Yes, this is one of the more common reasons businesses bring us in. We do a right-sizing review of existing resources and set up regular cost reviews so creep gets caught early, not at renewal.
Do you handle IAM and security, or just provisioning?
Both. IAM roles are scoped to least-privilege access as part of setup, not treated as a separate step.
Can you migrate us from another cloud provider to AWS, or the reverse?
Yes, staged and planned to avoid surprise downtime, see our migration services for how that's handled.
