What we build

Cloud Management: what we build

Ongoing cloud operations, monitoring and capacity tuning. Here are the six kinds of cloud management services work we are asked for most often.

Shared responsibility

Who manages what in your cloud

Cloud providers secure the platform; the rest is shared between us and you. Writing this down avoids gaps when an incident happens.

Straight answers

Is Cloud Management right for you?

We would rather recommend less than sell you more. Here is how we judge it.

A good fit when

  • Nobody owns day-to-day cloud operations
  • Patching and backups are irregular
  • You want clear incident responsibilities
  • Cloud resources are oversized or forgotten
  • The environment is still being designed

    See Cloud Services first.

  • You need a whole website looked after

    See Website Hosting, Support & Maintenance.

  • Your team already runs operations well

    You may only need periodic reviews.

FAQ

Cloud Management FAQ

What is included in managed cloud services?

Managed cloud services typically include 24/7 monitoring and alerting, patching, backup management and restore tests, security reviews, capacity tuning, incident response and monthly reporting, with agreed response times.

What is the cloud shared responsibility model?

It is the division of security and operational duties between the cloud provider, which secures the underlying platform, and the customer, which secures what it builds and configures on top. Managed service partners take on part of the customer's share.

How do you right-size cloud resources?

We compare actual usage with allocated capacity, resize or switch off under-used resources, and set up automatic scaling so capacity follows demand.

What happens when there is an incident?

Alerts reach our on-call engineer, who investigates and restores service within the agreed response time, keeps you informed, and writes a review with steps to prevent a repeat. [VERIFY on-call coverage]

Can you manage environments we did not build?

Yes. We start with an onboarding review, fix urgent risks, document the environment and then take over day-to-day management.

Do you manage all three major clouds?

Yes. We manage environments on AWS, Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud, and can manage a mix of them.
