CLD · Cloud & DevOps

Move to the cloud with a plan, then run it well.

Assessment, migration, operations and cost management across AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud. We also build the delivery automation that keeps every change reviewed, tested and repeatable.

Business problems we solve

What gets in the way.

  • Migration without a target

    Workloads move one at a time, with no target architecture, landing zone or decommissioning plan.

  • Cloud bills nobody can explain

    Spend grows faster than usage, and costs are not tied to owners, products or environments.

  • Manual, fragile releases

    Deployments depend on a few people and long checklists, so releases are slow and risky.

  • Hybrid estates that drift apart

    On-premises and cloud environments are run with different tools, policies and standards.

Core capabilities

What Cloud & DevOps covers.

  • Cloud assessment

    Workload discovery, readiness review, target architecture and a costed migration roadmap.

  • Migration and modernization

    A rehost, replatform or refactor decision for each workload, delivered in planned waves with rollback plans.

  • AWS, Azure and Google Cloud services

    Landing zones, identity, networking and platform services designed to each provider's architecture guidance. Where regulation requires it, we use in-region data centers in the GCC.

  • Hybrid cloud

    Consistent identity, networking, policy and monitoring across on-premises and cloud environments.

  • Cloud operations

    Day-to-day operations, patching, scaling, backup and incident response for cloud workloads.

  • FinOps

    Tagging standards, cost allocation, rightsizing, commitment planning and monthly cost reviews with budget owners.

  • CI/CD, DevOps and infrastructure automation

    Pipelines, infrastructure as code and environment automation, so every change is reviewed, tested and repeatable.

Delivery workflow

How delivery runs, step by step.

  1. Step 1

    Assess

    Discover workloads, dependencies, costs, compliance constraints and data-residency obligations.

  2. Step 2

    Plan

    Define the target architecture, landing zone and sequenced migration waves.

  3. Step 3

    Build

    Stand up the landing zone, pipelines and infrastructure as code.

  4. Step 4

    Migrate

    Move workloads wave by wave, with testing, cut-over plans and rollback options.

  5. Step 5

    Operate and optimize

    Run, monitor and right-size the environment, and review cost every month.

Typical use cases

Typical starting points.

  • Data center exit

    Plan and run a phased move out of an on-premises data center, with a decommissioning schedule.

  • Landing zone and governance

    Set up accounts, subscriptions, identity, networking and guardrails before workloads arrive.

  • Cost visibility programme

    Introduce tagging, allocation and reviews, so every cost line has an owner.

  • Release automation

    Replace manual deployments with pipelines, automated tests and infrastructure as code.
