Cloud & DevOps Engineering

Build and operate cloud environments on AWS, OCI, Google Cloud and Azure. We help teams automate CI/CD pipelines, manage infrastructure as code and connect metrics, logs and alerts with Prometheus, Grafana and Loki.

What we can help with

Cloud infrastructure, delivery pipelines and operations

Move from manual deployments and scattered logs to environments your team can release into and operate. We scope cloud infrastructure, CI/CD and observability around your current stack, workload, security requirements and budget.

01

Cloud infrastructure

Plan and configure workloads on AWS, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. Define networking, identity, compute, storage and environment boundaries around your application.

What you receive

Cloud architecture, environment configuration and access rules.

02

Infrastructure as code

Make environment changes reviewable and repeatable with Terraform and Ansible. Define configuration, secrets handling and separation between development, staging and production.

What you receive

Infrastructure definitions, configuration automation and setup documentation.

03

CI/CD pipelines

Automate builds, tests, container publishing and deployments with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins or Azure Pipelines. Include approval gates, release checks and a rollback path.

What you receive

Versioned pipelines, release gates and rollback procedures.

04

Containers and deployment

Package applications with Docker and scope Kubernetes, Helm or Argo CD around deployment needs. Define health checks, configuration and staged release behaviour.

What you receive

Container builds, deployment configuration and release guidance.

05

Monitoring and centralised logging

Connect Prometheus metrics, Grafana dashboards and Loki logs so teams can investigate application and infrastructure failures. Plan log collection with Grafana Alloy, including migration from existing Promtail setups.

What you receive

Dashboards, log collection configuration, retention rules and actionable alerts.

06

Recovery and operating cost

Review backups, restore procedures, resource sizing and alert ownership. Give the operating team a practical way to recover services and track cloud resource usage.

What you receive

Recovery runbooks, restore checks and resource review recommendations.

Where it helps

Start with a real task, then shape the solution

These are examples of workflows we can scope with your team.

01

Launch or migrate a cloud workload

Prepare an application for AWS, OCI, Google Cloud or Azure. Map dependencies, configure environments and plan validation, cutover and recovery before moving production traffic.

02

Replace manual releases

Turn build, test and deployment steps into CI/CD pipelines. Promote reviewed changes through staging and production with visible approvals and rollback instructions.

03

Investigate production issues

Bring application logs into Loki and metrics into Prometheus, with Grafana dashboards and alerts. Define collection, retention and ownership so the team can trace failures and act on them.

A concrete scope

Know what the engagement will produce

We agree on the deliverables for your project before delivery begins.

A defined scope

Prioritised workflows, dependencies, responsibilities and acceptance criteria for the agreed release.

Reviewable work

Cloud architecture, environment configuration and access rules; Infrastructure definitions, configuration automation and setup documentation; Versioned pipelines, release gates and rollback procedures; Container builds, deployment configuration and release guidance; Dashboards, log collection configuration, retention rules and actionable alerts; Recovery runbooks, restore checks and resource review recommendations.

A practical handover

The documentation, configuration, operating guidance and team walkthroughs included in your delivery plan.

Frameworks & tools

A toolkit shaped around your requirements

These are technology options for the engagement. We choose the stack around your existing systems, deployment needs and team; each project uses a relevant subset.

How we work

Move from a clear brief to a useful release

01

Assess the current setup

Review workloads, cloud accounts, deployment steps, logs, access and the operational issues your team faces.

02

Design environments and controls

Agree on the cloud platform, networking, identity, infrastructure definitions, secrets handling and recovery requirements.

03

Automate and validate

Build CI/CD workflows and configure monitoring and logging. Validate deployments, failure alerts and recovery on the agreed environments.

04

Hand over operations

Document pipelines, dashboards, alert ownership, rollback and restore procedures, with a walkthrough for the team operating the system.

Before we begin

Questions about the engagement

Which cloud platforms can the engagement cover?

We can scope work for AWS, Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), Google Cloud and Microsoft Azure. The choice depends on your current accounts, application dependencies, location requirements, managed services and operating budget.

Can you improve our existing CI/CD pipelines?

Yes. We review the current build, test and deployment flow, then scope changes to pipeline configuration, environment promotion, approvals and rollback. Tool options include GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins and Azure Pipelines.

How do Loki, Prometheus and Grafana fit together?

Loki stores and queries logs, Prometheus collects metrics, and Grafana provides dashboards for investigation and alerting. We define labels, retention, access and alert ownership around the services your team operates.

Can you help with an existing Promtail setup?

Yes. Promtail reached end of life on March 2, 2026. We can assess existing collection rules and scope a migration to Grafana Alloy, validating log labels, parsing and delivery to Loki before switching collectors.

Does every project need Kubernetes or multiple clouds?

The scope follows the workload and the capacity of your operating team. We can use a single cloud and simpler deployment services where they fit; Kubernetes and multiple cloud environments are scoped when the requirements justify them.
