Cloud Architecture Review
Plan cloud infrastructure around workloads, data, and budget, with resilience, access, and cost reviews guiding your delivery plan.
Why?
More infrastructure is not always a better architecture. We weigh operational complexity, recovery needs, and running costs so your team can make an informed choice.
-
Costs with stated assumptions
Compare running-cost scenarios tied to traffic, storage, and availability choices rather than guaranteed savings.
-
Recovery designed deliberately
Document backup and failover choices, recovery targets, and the tests needed to validate them.
-
Controls mapped to requirements
Review access and data controls against agreed requirements, with gaps clearly separated from certification claims.
Our process
Understand workloads and constraints
Document traffic patterns, data location needs, dependencies, recovery targets, and operational ownership.
Compare architecture options
Map service boundaries and availability options, explaining complexity and failure trade-offs.
Review access and data controls
Inspect identity, network boundaries, secrets, and backups against the requirements agreed with your team.
Model running costs
Build usage-based scenarios and identify cost drivers; estimates remain dependent on actual consumption.
Plan implementation and recovery
Sequence changes, migration checks, and recovery steps, identifying what needs a separate build scope.
Review decisions with the team
Hand over diagrams, assumptions, risks, and a prioritised action plan with named decision owners.
Questions?
We start with your provider, workload inventory, and available access. We confirm the services and environments in scope before proposing a review or migration approach.
We identify cost drivers and compare right-sizing, storage, scheduling, and architecture options. Savings depend on actual usage and constraints; no fixed percentage is promised.
The review produces decisions, diagrams, and a prioritised plan. Infrastructure changes, migrations, and production deployment must be listed explicitly in the agreed implementation scope.
No. We can map technical controls to requirements provided by your team and flag gaps. Legal interpretation, independent assurance, and certification remain with qualified specialists.
