Cloud Foundations & Operations
Landing zones, IAM, automation, and cost controls built for day two. The launch is the easy part. We build AWS foundations that hold up when real workloads, real teams, and real bills arrive.

Built for day two
Most cloud projects are designed for launch day. The trouble starts on day two - when the accounts multiply, the permissions sprawl, and the bill arrives. We build foundations that hold up after the cutover: multi-account AWS architecture with a landing zone that gives every team a safe place to build, IAM designed around roles instead of one-off grants, and cost controls wired in from the start rather than bolted on after the first surprise invoice.
Infrastructure as code, not as folklore
If your infrastructure lives in someone's head, you don't own it - they do. We put everything in Terraform: reusable modules, versioned in Git, shared across repositories so every account is built from the same tested parts. Deployments run through automated CI/CD pipelines. No console clicking, no snowflake servers, no "ask Dave, he set that up." When we led a multi-wave data center migration for a state transportation agency - hundreds of servers, databases, and application workloads moved to AWS with zero downtime - the IaC framework was what made each wave repeatable instead of a fresh adventure.
We operate at the layer below the cloud
Nubivance is a General Member of ARIN, holding a direct IPv6 allocation and our own autonomous system number with RPKI route origin authorizations signed. Most consultancies never touch that layer - they build on top of whatever addressing the provider hands them.
It matters when the questions get harder than they first appear. Bringing your own IP space to a cloud provider, planning IPv6 addressing that will not need redoing in three years, understanding what actually happens to your traffic between your users and your workloads - those are answered from experience here, not from documentation.
Not everything belongs in the cloud
Some workloads run better on hardware you own - latency, data residency, licensing economics, or a regulator who wants a straight answer about where the data physically sits. We design and build those environments too, and the ones that span both.
The question we start with is not which platform. It is which constraint actually governs the decision. Sometimes the answer is a landing zone. Sometimes it is a rack. Usually it is both, connected properly, which is the part most teams underestimate.
Right-sized, not one-sized
The right platform is the one that fits the workload and the budget. Usually that's AWS. Sometimes it isn't - we've moved client environments off hyperscaler infrastructure at half the cost with zero downtime. We'll tell you which answer is yours before we build anything, because the goal is systems that run clean, not invoices that run long.
What an engagement looks like
We baseline what you have, design the target with your team, and land it in production - then hand off the modules, the pipelines, and the playbooks so your people own the result. See how we work, or look at the outcomes this approach has delivered. If the foundation is solid but the security layer needs the same treatment, that's our Security Engineering practice.
