# Cloud

Strategy and migration, managed AWS, Azure and Google Cloud, hybrid and private cloud, Kubernetes, FinOps and sovereign cloud.

Cloud, from the first migration to the most regulated workload.

Cloud is not one decision. A company moving its first workloads needs a landing zone and a plan; one running hundreds needs cost attribution, platform engineering and operations at scale; a regulated one needs residency, key custody and an exit plan a supervisor will accept. We work across that whole range, on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud and private platforms, and we operate what we build.

Services:
- Cloud strategy and migration: Landing zones and migrations sequenced around what cannot pause.
- Managed AWS, Azure and Google Cloud: Cloud estates operated to a service level, with every cost owned.
- Hybrid and private cloud: VMware alternatives, private cloud and hybrid estates done properly.
- Kubernetes and platform engineering: Kubernetes and internal platforms that make delivery safe and fast.
- Cloud cost management (FinOps): Cloud spend attributed, forecast and reduced without new risk.
- Sovereign and regulated cloud: Residency, key custody and exit plans for regulated workloads.

What changes:
- An estate you can explain. Accounts, networks, identities and costs are structured so anyone can see what runs where, who owns it and what it costs.
- Recovery that has been tested. Backups, failover and recovery objectives are designed from what the business can tolerate, then rehearsed before they are needed.
- Freedom to leave. Infrastructure as code, open standards and documented exit plans keep the choice of provider yours.

Common questions:

Q: Which cloud should we use?
A: The one that fits the workload, your team and your constraints. We compare AWS, Azure and Google Cloud on the same terms, including what each would cost to leave, and we recommend a private or hybrid platform when that is the better answer.

Q: Can you run our cloud environment for us?
A: Yes. Managed cloud covers monitoring, patching, backup, security posture, cost governance and change, against a written service level, with infrastructure as code in your repository so you are never locked to us.

Q: What about the VMware licensing changes?
A: Many organizations are reassessing VMware after the Broadcom acquisition. We model the options, renewal, consolidation, another hypervisor such as Nutanix AHV, Proxmox or Hyper-V, or public cloud, and sequence whichever you choose around the workloads that cannot pause.

Q: Can our data stay in one country?
A: Yes. Residency is designed in: regions, backups, keys and support access are placed where your law or your contracts require, and the design records how that is enforced.
