Infrastructure & Operations

Cloud Infrastructure

Compute, storage, networking and security designed as code. We build cloud environments that are secure by default, sized for your workload and understandable by the people who run them.

01 · Overview

Infrastructure you can read, review and rebuild

Cloud consoles make it easy to create resources and hard to remember why they exist. We define infrastructure as code with Terraform, so every network, server, database and permission is versioned, reviewed and reproducible across environments.

We design around your real requirements: availability targets, data residency, compliance obligations and budget. That usually means private networks, least-privilege access, encrypted storage, automated backups and a scaling approach that matches actual traffic.

02 · Capabilities

What we deliver

The building blocks of a cloud environment, designed to work together.

Infrastructure architecture

Account structure, environments and service choices documented and aligned with your requirements.

Compute

Virtual machines, containers or serverless functions chosen per workload, with sensible scaling rules.

Storage

Object storage, block volumes and managed databases with encryption, lifecycle rules and backups.

Networking

Private networks and subnets, load balancers, DNS, CDN and firewall rules designed for least exposure.

Security

Least-privilege IAM, multi-factor authentication, encryption, audit logging and managed secrets.

Scaling and reliability

Multi-zone deployments, health checks, auto-scaling and disaster recovery plans with agreed targets.

03 · Approach

Security-first, automated from day one

We establish a secure foundation, automate it with code and add observability before the first workload goes live.

  1. 01

    Assessment and strategy

    We review current systems and requirements, then choose the right provider fit.

    • Current state audit
    • Workload classification
    • Provider fit
    • Cost model
  2. 02

    Design and landing zone

    Accounts, networks and guardrails set up as a secure baseline.

    • Account structure
    • Networking
    • IAM and governance
    • Security baseline
  3. 03

    Automation and deployment

    Reusable Terraform modules and pipelines keep environments consistent.

    • Terraform modules
    • CI integration
    • Environment parity
    • Release strategy
  4. 04

    Observability and optimisation

    Monitoring, scaling and cost controls tuned with real usage data.

    • Monitoring and logging
    • Auto-scaling
    • Cost governance
    • Continuous improvement

04 · Technical considerations

The details that decide success

Cloud infrastructure is easy to create and hard to operate well. These principles keep it manageable.

Least privilege by default
People and services receive only the permissions they need, reviewed regularly and granted through roles, not shared keys.
Limiting the blast radius
Production and non-production live in separate accounts or projects, so a mistake in testing cannot reach live data.
Data residency and compliance
Data is placed in regions that meet your legal and contractual obligations, and the controls in place are documented.
Disaster recovery
Recovery point and recovery time objectives are agreed with you, then backups, replication and failover are designed and tested against them.
Cost visibility
Tagging, budgets and alerts show where money goes, and reserved capacity is used where usage is predictable.
Drift control
All changes go through code review and pipelines, and manual changes are detected and reconciled.

05 · Outcomes

What you can expect

  • Reproducible environments from code
  • A secure baseline you can evidence
  • Availability matched to business needs
  • Predictable, visible cloud spend

06 · FAQ

Cloud Infrastructure: common questions

Ask us something else
Do you support multi-cloud or hybrid setups?

Yes, when there is a clear reason such as redundancy, compliance or existing investment. Multi-cloud adds complexity, so we use it deliberately and keep tooling consistent with Terraform and Ansible.

Can you help with compliance requirements?

We implement the technical controls that frameworks such as GDPR, SOC 2 and ISO 27001 expect, including encryption, audit logging, network isolation and role-based access, and document them to support your audits. Certification itself remains with your organisation.

Can you migrate us from on-premises servers?

Yes. We plan migrations in stages, choosing between rehosting and refactoring for each workload, with data synchronisation, cutover planning and rollback options.

How do you approach disaster recovery?

We agree recovery point and recovery time objectives with you, design backups, replication and failover to meet them, and test the plan so it works when needed.

How do you manage secrets and access?

Secrets live in a managed secrets service, never in code. Access uses individual accounts, least-privilege roles, multi-factor authentication and audit logging.
