Cloud Cost Optimisation (FinOps)
Reduce cloud spend in the right order — visibility, deletion, rightsizing, then commitments.

AWS Cloud Solutions
Architecture, build and optimisation on Amazon Web Services, from a single workload to a multi-account landing zone.
Overview
AWS gives you roughly two hundred services and very little guidance about which twelve you actually need. We help New Zealand organisations pick the smallest set that solves the problem, then build it properly: accounts and networking laid out sensibly, identity locked down from the start, and everything defined in code rather than clicked together in the console.
Whether you are placing a first workload on AWS, untangling an account that has grown organically for five years, or preparing for a Well-Architected Review, the work follows the same shape — understand the constraint, design the smallest architecture that removes it, and leave your team able to operate what we built.
What you get
A structure that scales
Multi-account organisation, VPC design and guardrails that still make sense when the second and third product arrive.
Costs you can explain
Tagging and cost allocation from day one, so every line on the bill has an owner and a purpose.
Everything in code
Terraform or CloudFormation in your repositories, reviewed through pull requests, with no console-only resources.
No lock-in to us
We build in your accounts, document as we go, and hand over runbooks your engineers can follow.
How we work
- 01
Review
We assess the current environment or requirement against the AWS Well-Architected pillars and write down what we find.
- 02
Design
You get an architecture, a cost estimate and a delivery plan before any building starts.
- 03
Build
Infrastructure as code, deployed through a pipeline, with staging proving each change before production.
- 04
Hand over
Documentation, runbooks and a working session so your team owns the environment afterwards.
Common questions
Do we need to be on AWS already?
No. We work with organisations making a first move to AWS as often as with those already running there. If another provider suits your workload better, we will say so.
Can you work alongside our existing IT provider?
Yes, and it is common. We define who owns what in writing at the start so there is no ambiguity during an incident.
What size of engagement makes sense?
Most start with a fixed-price review of two to three weeks. That produces a plan you own, whether or not you continue with us.
Often paired with
Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation)
Every resource defined in code, reviewed in a pull request and applied by a pipeline.

A staged move to the cloud with discovery, wave planning and a rollback path for every step.
