03 — Cloud Solutions · Cloud engineering

Cloud infrastructure is the networking, compute, storage and platform services your applications run on. We design and build it to be secure, resilient and repeatable — defined as code, monitored from day one and with backup and recovery that has actually been tested.

What this solves

The problems Cloud Infrastructure solves.

Networking, compute, storage, Kubernetes, backup and recovery built as code.

  1. 01

    Networks were set up quickly and are now hard to change safely.

  2. 02

    Backups exist but restores have never been tested.

  3. 03

    Applications slow down or fail under peak load.

  4. 04

    Each environment is slightly different from the others.

Capabilities

What Cloud Infrastructure covers.

Key concepts

Infrastructure that's repeatable.

We build infrastructure as code from the start, so every environment can be recreated, reviewed and audited.

Networking
Address planning, private connectivity, DNS, load balancing and firewall rules defined in code.
Compute
VM scale sets, container platforms or serverless, sized from measured usage rather than estimates.
Kubernetes
Managed clusters (EKS, AKS, GKE) with ingress, autoscaling, secrets and policy controls.
Storage
The right class for each data type — block, file, object — with lifecycle rules that move cold data to cheaper tiers.
Backup and recovery
Backups tested by restoring them, with recovery time and recovery point objectives agreed per system.

What you receive

Clear, owned outputs.

  • Infrastructure design documents
  • Infrastructure code repositories
  • Backup and disaster recovery plan
  • Restore and failover test results
  • Operational runbooks

Business benefits

Why it's worth it.

  • Resilience

    Systems keep running and recover predictably.

  • Elastic capacity

    Infrastructure scales with demand.

  • Consistency

    Environments match, reducing release surprises.

Where it fits

When Cloud Infrastructure is the right move.

  1. 01A new platform for a growing application.
  2. 02Infrastructure that needs disaster recovery it can rely on.
  3. 03A Kubernetes platform for several teams.

Methodology

How Cloud Infrastructure work runs.

  1. 01

    Assess

    Current state, risks, constraints and goals reviewed with your team.

  2. 02

    Design

    Target state, options and trade-offs written down and agreed.

  3. 03

    Build

    Changes delivered as code, peer-reviewed and tested.

  4. 04

    Release

    Changes rolled out safely with monitoring and rollback ready.

  5. 05

    Hand over

    Documentation, runbooks and knowledge transfer to your team.

FAQ

Cloud Infrastructure questions.

Do we need Kubernetes?

Not always. Kubernetes suits organizations running many services with teams to operate it. Simpler managed services are often a better fit for smaller estates.

What are RTO and RPO?

Recovery time objective is how quickly a system must be back; recovery point objective is how much data loss is acceptable. They drive the backup and DR design.

Do you provide ongoing management?

We can provide ongoing support under an agreed scope, or hand over to your team with documentation and training.
