Day-to-day cloud operations
Patching, backups, capacity, access requests and account hygiene across your cloud accounts, tracked in your ticketing tool.
Cloud Management & FinOps
A cloud estate that is run well and paid for sensibly.
We run your AWS, Azure and GCP accounts day to day: patching, backups, access, capacity and cost. Every month you see what changed, what it cost and what we plan to fix next.
The problem
Why cloud estates drift.
01
Bills nobody can explain
Spend grows every quarter, but nobody can say which team, product or customer is driving it.
02
Idle and oversized resources
Test environments run all weekend, instances are sized for a launch that ended long ago and old snapshots pile up.
03
Commitments bought by guesswork
Reservations and savings plans are either skipped or bought without usage data, so money is wasted both ways.
04
Operations by whoever is free
Patching, backups and access reviews happen when someone remembers, which is usually after an incident.
What we deliver
Cloud operations and cost, in one service.
We look after the estate and the bill together, because most cost problems are really operations problems.
Cost visibility and allocation
Tagging standards and dashboards that show spend by team, product and environment, so every cost has an owner.
Rightsizing and clean-up
Regular reviews of instances, storage, databases and idle resources, with changes agreed before we make them.
Commitment planning
Reservations and savings plans bought on real usage data, reviewed as your workload changes.
Anomaly alerts and budgets
Budgets per team and alerts on unusual spend, so a runaway job is caught in hours, not at month end.
Governance and guardrails
Policies that stop untagged, public or oversized resources being created in the first place.
How we deliver
From first review to steady running.
We learn your estate before we change it, and every change is agreed with you.
Always included
- A named service manager and a clear escalation matrix
- A monthly service review with SLA reporting
- Runbooks and documentation that you own
- Access through your SSO with audit trails, and an NDA and DPA as standard

FAQ
Questions we hear a lot.
Which clouds do you manage?
AWS, Azure and GCP, including estates that use more than one. We work inside your own accounts, so you keep ownership of the infrastructure and the billing relationship with your provider.
Will you make changes without asking us?
No. We agree approval rules upfront. Routine work such as patching follows a schedule you sign off, and anything that affects cost commitments, architecture or availability is approved by you first.
How do you reduce cloud cost?
We start by making spend visible by team and product, then remove idle resources, rightsize what is oversized and buy commitments on real usage data. We work to reduce waste every month, and we report what changed and why in the service review.
What is the difference between fully managed, co-managed and on-demand pods?
Fully managed means we run cloud operations end to end against agreed SLAs. Co-managed means our engineers work alongside your team, often covering specific accounts, nights or weekends while your people keep ownership. On-demand pods are senior specialists for a defined piece of work, such as a cost audit or a landing zone build, billed per sprint.
Can we start with a cost review only?
Yes. Many teams start with an on-demand pod that reviews spend and fixes the obvious waste, then decide whether they want ongoing management.
