Cloud Architecture

Target cloud designs for networking, tenancy, data, and operational boundaries.

Cloud architecture work that turns vague “move to the cloud” goals into a concrete design: account/subscription strategy, network topology, identity boundaries, data placement, and the operational model your team can run. Diagrams and decision records come with trade-offs, not just logos.

Who it’s for

  • CTOs and platform leads choosing a target cloud shape
  • Teams preparing for migration or major re-architecture
  • Organizations needing multi-account or landing-zone clarity

Problems we address

  • Cloud resources grew organically without a reference architecture
  • Security, networking, and app teams disagree on boundaries
  • Migration starts before the target state is agreed

Expected outcomes

  • Reference architecture with explicit decisions and constraints
  • Account, network, and identity boundary design
  • Phased adoption roadmap tied to business milestones

Timeline

Typical timeline

2–6 weeks

Timeline depends on scope, access, and dependencies—not a delivery guarantee.

Process

A clear delivery path from discovery through handover and optional support.

  1. 01

    Discovery

    Goals, constraints, success criteria, and current-state review.

  2. 02

    Architecture

    Target design, interfaces, risks, and delivery sequence.

  3. 03

    Implementation

    Incremental build with visible progress and documented decisions.

  4. 04

    Testing

    Functional checks, failure paths, and acceptance criteria validation.

  5. 05

    Deployment

    Controlled release to staging and production with rollback paths.

  6. 06

    Handover

    Runbooks, access notes, and operator/admin walkthrough.

  7. 07

    Support

    Optional hypercare window or retainer continuity after go-live.

FAQ

Architecture engagements produce the design and roadmap. Implementation can follow as separate IaC, migration, or platform work.

We default to a primary cloud unless there is a concrete constraint that justifies multi-cloud complexity.
