When it helps
Sounds familiar?
- You are moving to the cloud and need a target architecture before the first migration.
- Your cloud estate grew project by project, without shared foundations or conventions.
- Infrastructure is set up by hand, so environments drift and nobody dares to touch them.
- The cloud bill keeps growing and nobody can say which workload costs what.
What I do
What I take on
Target architecture
On Azure, AWS or both, balancing security, governance and operations.
Landing zones
Identity, networking and policies set up once, so every team starts on the same ground.
Infrastructure as Code
Terraform or OpenTofu, Bicep, CloudFormation or the AWS CDK, deployed through pipelines, so every environment is reproducible and reviewed.
Migration
Moving workloads to the cloud and integrating them with the systems that stay put.
FinOps
Costs visible per workload, with budgets and tagging from the first deployment.
Security and compliance
Built into the platform design instead of checked after the fact.
Ecosystem
