Cloud Operations & Cloud Support

We run your cloud infrastructure with SRE principles: defined SLOs, proactive monitoring, incident runbooks, and on-call coverage. Stop firefighting and start operating with confidence.

Who this is for

Engineering leaders and COOs who need reliable, observable cloud infrastructure without building an internal SRE team. You need SLOs, monitoring, and incident response that works at 2am.

What You Get

Every engagement includes these deliverables — not optional extras, not dependent on tier.

  • Defined SLOs and SLAs with monthly reporting dashboards
  • Proactive monitoring and alerting setup (Datadog, Grafana, or equivalent)
  • Incident response runbooks for top 10 failure modes
  • On-call rotation with defined escalation paths
  • Monthly infrastructure review report
  • Quarterly cost optimization analysis
  • Post-incident reports (PIR) within 48 hours of every P1
  • Monitoring coverage: uptime, latency, error rates, saturation

How We Deliver

A structured, phase-based delivery process — you know what happens next at every stage.

Cloud Audit

Week 1

Current state assessment: architecture mapping, gap analysis, risk register, and SLO baseline measurement.

Deliverables

  • Architecture map
  • Gap analysis report
  • Risk register
  • SLO baseline

Monitoring Setup

Weeks 1–2

Instrument all services, define alert thresholds with runbook links, configure dashboards. Every alert has an associated response procedure before it goes live.

Deliverables

  • Monitoring dashboards
  • Alert definitions
  • Runbook library (initial)
  • On-call handover doc

Runbook Creation

Weeks 2–4

Document recovery procedures for every critical system: database failover, service restarts, data recovery, scaling events.

Deliverables

  • Full runbook library
  • Escalation matrix
  • On-call rotation schedule

Ongoing Operations

Continuous

Monthly SLO reviews, quarterly cost optimization, incident response, and runbook maintenance. You get reports and we surface problems before they become incidents.

Deliverables

  • Monthly SLO report
  • Quarterly cost analysis
  • PIR for every P1
  • Updated runbooks

Engagement Models

Choose the model that fits your goals and timeline. We can also mix models within a single engagement.

Reactive Support

SLA-backed response to incidents — business hours or 24/7 tier. Ideal for teams with internal DevOps who need overflow and escalation capacity.

Best forTeams with some internal DevOps capability that need expert escalation and overflow coverage.
Typical durationMonth-to-month with 30-day notice
BillingFixed monthly retainer

Managed Cloud Ops

We own monitoring, alerting, on-call, and incident response. You receive dashboards and monthly reports. No operational overhead on your side.

Best forTeams without internal SRE capacity who want reliable cloud operations without building the function.
Typical duration3-month minimum
BillingFixed monthly by tier (Standard / Professional / Enterprise)

Augmented SRE

Our senior SRE engineers embed in your team — running operations while upskilling your staff. You build internal capability while we deliver outcomes.

Best forTeams building internal SRE capability who need experienced leadership while growing.

Common Pitfalls We Prevent

These are the issues we see repeatedly when clients come to us after working with other vendors. We build processes that prevent them before they happen.

  • Monitoring without actionable runbooks

    Every alert we configure has a linked runbook. We never create an alert that just pages someone without a documented response procedure.

  • SLO drift nobody notices

    Monthly SLO reviews catch degradation trends before customers notice. We send the report — you do not have to ask.

  • Cost overruns from orphaned resources

    Quarterly cost optimization is a standard deliverable. We identify unused resources, right-sizing opportunities, and reserved instance candidates.

  • Single points of failure in on-call

    We enforce minimum rotation sizes and document coverage gaps. No single person is the only one who knows how to restart a critical service.

  • Post-incident blame without learning

    Every P1 incident generates a blameless post-incident report within 48 hours. Root cause, timeline, action items, owner, and due date — documented.
