Cloud
AWS with the guardrails built in
AWS account structure, migration, cost optimisation and operational support.
The problem
AWS gives teams enormous latitude, which is its strength and, without structure, its cost problem. Accounts proliferate, instances are launched at defaults nobody revisits, and there is no organisational view of what is running or who authorised it.
How we approach it
We establish a multi-account structure with organisational policies, centralised logging and cost allocation from the outset, then migrate or optimise workloads within it.
For existing estates the sequence is reversed: make the spend visible and attributable first, eliminate the obvious waste, then restructure.
What you get
- Multi-account organisation with service control policies
- Cost allocation tags enforced at the organisation level
- Savings Plans and Reserved Instance analysis
- Centralised logging and security baseline
- Right-sizing from measured CloudWatch data
- Migration planning with dependency mapping
How the engagement runs
The sequence, and why each stage comes where it does.
Account and spend review
Existing accounts, workloads and cost drivers are mapped.
Landing zone
Organisation structure, guardrails, logging and network baseline.
Waste removal
Idle instances, unattached volumes and orphaned snapshots are identified and removed.
Migration or modernisation
Workloads move or are re-platformed in dependency order.
Commitment and review
Savings Plans purchased against the measured baseline, with ongoing monthly review.
