SERVICES / CLOUD ARCHITECTURE & MIGRATION

Cloud architecture & migration for Azure and AWS.

Design cloud foundations that scale, and move workloads onto them with a plan: secure networking, clear landing zones, and cost awareness from day one.

Sound familiar?

Moving to the cloud is easy to start and hard to finish well.

Lift-and-shift with no plan

Workloads were moved quickly, and now the estate is hard to secure, govern, and pay for.

Networking grew organically

VNets and VPCs, peering, and firewall rules were added one ticket at a time, and nobody has the full picture.

Cloud bills keep surprising you

Idle resources, oversized machines, and unused reservations quietly add up every month.

What we deliver

Cloud assessment

An inventory of your current estate, with risks, quick wins, and a target architecture.

Landing zones

Subscription and account structure, identity, policy, and logging foundations for Azure and AWS.

Network design

Hub-and-spoke VNet / VPC design, hybrid connectivity, private endpoints, and firewalling.

Migration planning

Rehost, replatform, or rebuild decisions per workload, with sequencing and cutover plans.

Cost optimization

Rightsizing, cleanup of idle resources, and reservation and savings-plan reviews.

Resilience

Backup, disaster recovery, and availability design that matches your real recovery targets.

How an engagement runs

01 / ASSESS

Discover

Inventory, dependencies, and goals.

02 / DESIGN

Target state

Landing zone, network, and migration plan.

03 / MIGRATE

Move in waves

Pilot first, then grouped migrations.

04 / OPTIMIZE

Tune

Cost, performance, and handover.

Example: Automated weekly cloud cost scanner

Work our team delivered in a previous role. Client name withheld.

Challenge

Cloud spend grew with no regular, reliable review of waste and savings opportunities.

What we did

Built an unattended weekly scanner in Azure DevOps that reviews every subscription it can access, using a secretless (OIDC) design.

Result

A repeatable savings report delivered to the team every week, with no manual effort.

Common questions

Do you work with both Azure and AWS?

Yes, including multi-cloud and hybrid setups that connect to on-premises networks.

Can you help after a migration that's already happened?

Yes. Many engagements start with an existing estate that needs cleanup, governance, and cost control.

Can you work alongside our team or MSP?

Yes: as project consulting, contract engineering, or white-label delivery for MSPs and consultancies.

Do you work with clients outside Chicago?

Yes. We work remotely with clients across the United States, using secure, delegated access to your cloud environments.
