CloudOps & Managed Operations

24/7 AWS operations, without the body-shop overhead.

Honest framing: this is a launching offering, not a 200-engineer NOC. We provide founder-reviewed runbooks, tiered support packages, and structured monitoring for FinTech, HealthTech, and SaaS scale-ups already running on AWS. Built to ISO 27001 standards.

What We Operate

Six CloudOps capabilities, tier-aware.

Operations work scaled to your maturity. Standard tier covers monitoring, alerting, and patch management. Pro tier adds incident response and managed security ops. Enterprise tier includes 24/7 on-call coverage with documented playbooks.

01 · MONITORING

Production observability

CloudWatch dashboards configured for your specific workload patterns. Custom metrics, synthetic checks, log aggregation. Alerts route to your existing channels. Not generic dashboards — instrumentation tailored to what your application actually does.

02 · INCIDENT RESPONSE

Documented runbook playbooks

Every alert maps to a runbook. Every runbook has been founder-reviewed before activation. Pro and Enterprise tiers include first-line response with documented escalation paths. Incident post-mortems for every Sev 1.

03 · PATCH & CONFIGURATION

Automated patching cycles

Systems Manager Patch Manager configured for your maintenance windows. Configuration drift detection via Config rules. Compliance reporting against your selected framework. Automated remediation for common drift scenarios.

04 · BACKUP & DR

Tested recovery procedures

AWS Backup centralized policies. Cross-region replication for critical workloads. RTO/RPO targets defined and validated quarterly. Documented disaster recovery procedures, tested in non-production. Not theoretical — actually exercised.

05 · SECURITY OPS

Continuous posture monitoring

GuardDuty findings reviewed and triaged. Security Hub aggregation across accounts. CloudTrail analysis for anomalous activity. Automated response for known attack patterns. Quarterly posture reports for audit cycles.

06 · COST & CAPACITY

Continuous FinOps discipline

Monthly cost review against budget. Reserved Instance and Savings Plan optimization. Compute Optimizer recommendations triaged and applied. Capacity forecasting tied to business metrics. Cost is operated, not just monitored.

Support Tiers

Three tiers of managed operations.

Different operational maturity needs different support depth. Standard tier for established workloads needing baseline monitoring. Pro tier for compliance-aware ops. Enterprise tier for 24/7 incident response with documented playbooks.

Who It's For

Who CloudOps is right for.

CloudOps is for established workloads that need operational discipline. Honest framing: this is a launching offering, building gradually with deliberate quality over scale.

Strong fit

If you are…

  • Running production AWS workloads that have stabilized past initial launch
  • A FinTech, HealthTech, or regulated SaaS where audit cycles repeat annually
  • Tired of internal team burnout from after-hours alerts and weekend patching
  • Looking for ops discipline without hiring a full-time SRE team
  • Subject to compliance frameworks requiring documented operational procedures
  • Wanting founder-reviewed runbooks rather than templated procedures
Not a fit

If you are…

  • Pre-launch with no production AWS footprint to operate yet
  • Looking for a 200-engineer NOC with formal redundancy at every layer
  • Needing tier-1 telco-style 99.999% SLAs (we're honest about our scale)
  • Running primarily on Azure or GCP with no AWS roadmap
  • Looking for cheapest-possible body-shop SRE staffing (different model entirely)

You said this is a "launching offering" — what does that mean for us?+
It means we're being honest about scale. We're not a 200-engineer NOC. We're a small AWS-focused team building the operations practice deliberately. Standard and Pro tiers are mature offerings with ISO 27001-aligned procedures. Enterprise 24/7 is built around founder availability for Sev 1 with structured escalation. If you need telco-style redundancy, we're not the right fit — and we'll tell you that on the call.
Can you take over operations of an environment we didn't build?+
Yes — this is common. We'd start with a 1-2 week assessment to understand the current state, document existing procedures, identify gaps, and propose remediation. After remediation, we transition into the chosen support tier. Many clients arrive after a previous partner left them with infrastructure they couldn't operate.
What's the difference between Pro and Enterprise tier?+
Pro tier is extended business-hours coverage (typically 12 hours/day) with documented incident procedures. Enterprise tier is genuine 24/7 with SLA-backed response and founder availability for Sev 1 incidents. Pro suits most regulated SaaS. Enterprise suits FinTech and HealthTech where downtime has direct revenue impact.
Do you provide runbooks, or do we have to write them?+
We write them. Every alert that triggers a response has a documented runbook, founder-reviewed before activation. For workload-specific procedures (custom databases, legacy systems, business-critical jobs), we collaborate with your team to capture institutional knowledge and translate it into structured documentation.
How does this work with our existing internal team?+
We complement, we don't replace. Most engagements have your team handling product features and architecture decisions, while we handle operational execution: monitoring, patching, incident response, compliance evidence. Your team retains ownership; we provide operational discipline.
Can we move between tiers?+
Yes, with notice. Moving up is fast (additional capacity onboarded in 2-4 weeks). Moving down requires a 60-day transition to redocument procedures and adjust automation. Tier changes are planned at quarterly reviews, not reactive.
What happens during a Sev 1 incident?+
For Pro tier: documented runbook execution within extended hours, founder notified for awareness. For Enterprise: 24/7 first response per SLA, founder accessible if escalation is needed, post-incident review within 48 hours, blameless post-mortem documented and shared with your team. Every Sev 1 generates a learning that updates the runbook.
