Azure & AWS Cloud Engineering

Moving to the cloud is easy to start and hard to do well. Many teams end up with a lift-and-shift that costs more than the old servers, environments that were configured by hand, and a platform only one person really understands.

• Releases are slow or risky because infrastructure isn't automated.
• Security and access rules grew organically and nobody is sure they're right.
• When something breaks, it takes too long to see why.

1. Understand

We start with your applications, your team and your constraints: compliance, budgets, deadlines. Then we agree the target architecture and the order to get there in.

2. Build

We build the platform as code, set up pipelines and environments, and move or modernise workloads step by step, so the business keeps running throughout.

3. Hand over

We document what we built, train your team on it, and stay available while it settles in. You own the platform, not us.

• Migration of applications and databases to Azure or AWS, planned in waves with a rollback for each step.
• Modernisation: moving workloads to managed services where it pays off, such as App Service, Azure Functions and Azure Kubernetes Service on Azure, or AWS Lambda, Amazon ECS and Amazon EKS on AWS.
• Infrastructure as code with Terraform, Bicep or AWS CloudFormation, and CI/CD pipelines in GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps or AWS CodePipeline.
• Landing zones: Azure subscriptions or AWS accounts, networking, identity and policy set up so new projects start secure.
• Observability: logging, metrics, tracing and alerts with Azure Monitor and Application Insights, or Amazon CloudWatch and AWS X-Ray.
• Security and reliability: least-privilege access, secrets management, backups and disaster recovery that has been tested.

• A target architecture and migration plan, agreed before anything moves.
• Infrastructure as code for every environment, in your own repository.
• CI/CD pipelines that build, test and deploy your applications.
• Dashboards and alerts in Azure Monitor or Amazon CloudWatch.
• A security baseline: least-privilege access with Microsoft Entra ID or AWS IAM, secrets in Azure Key Vault or AWS Secrets Manager, network rules in code.
• Runbooks and handover sessions, so your team can run the platform without us.

We usually begin with a short discovery to agree the target architecture and plan. Delivery then runs as a project with clear milestones, or as an embedded team working alongside your engineers. We agree the scope, team and pricing model with you before work starts.

A senior cloud engineer leads the work, joined by platform, DevOps or application engineers as the plan needs. You talk to the people doing the work.

Our team works from Ho Chi Minh City (UTC+7). That's within an hour of Singapore and Malaysia, and gives four to five hours of shared working time with the Australian east coast every day. For clients in the US we agree an overlap window at the start and handle the rest asynchronously, with written updates.
